Question

MEDAL AND FAN: Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3, -5).

Answer 1

Answer choices:
-1
1
0
1/2

Answer 2

slope = m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

let (1,-3) be (x1,y1) and let (3,-5) be (x2,y2)

Answer 3

Can you explain further?

Answer 4

slope = m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1 = 1
x2 = 3
y1 = -3
y2 = -5

Answer 5

So then -5-3/3-1 to get -8/2, simplify that to find your slope

Answer 6

Thank you all :) I understand now

Answer 7

If we r given any two points like-
(x1,y1) and (x2,y2) then the slope m

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in x1, x2,, y1, y2 and get the answer

Answer 8

u have to do rise over run
