What is the slope of the line segment?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (lynfran):

the slope of any line is y/x

OpenStudy (lynfran):

u can pick any point on the line segment and find thee slope it doesnt matter... pick the 1st point.. what did u get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4

OpenStudy (lynfran):

that x/y ...no slope is y/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so would it be 4 ?

OpenStudy (lynfran):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and thats becasue all the other ones are negatives and the line segment doesnt show that and you must go y/x first ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HelpOfTheGods for the future use \[y _{2}-y _{1}/x _{2}-x _{1}\]
