http://prntscr.com/8b7fd2 Please help me do a equation out of this to find the slope with the formula of y2-y1/x2-x1

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

do a equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph is what i am supposed to use (click the link in my question)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

I don't understand "do a equation" what do you need to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have to pick two points on the line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that doesn't look like the right graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y2-y1\] ------- \[x2-x1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is slope formula yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do we just have to make something up or are we trying to find the slope of a certain line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ }{ 20-70 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need 2 points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(20,70)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For worm B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats one point, you need two

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 20x and 70y is the first point. (20, 70)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, (20,70) and (25,80)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup, good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, take the y variables and subtract them like this, 80y - 70y and subtract the x varibels 20x - 25x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 70-80 }{ 25-20 }\]
