what is the slope of the line that passes through the given points 6,-1 and -3, -1

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

m=y2-y1/x2-x1=?

OpenStudy (minthia):

0?

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

I want for you to fill in the following values, one sec...

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

y2 = ? y1 = ? x2 = ? x1 = ?

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

your choices are the points provided in the question.... plz notice that there are four missing values and four listed points, seem ironic?

OpenStudy (minthia):

im so confused give me a second to try to figure this out im horrible at this

OpenStudy (minthia):

Im going with -2/3

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

its ok, take your time, thats what Im here for and one sec, let me check....

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

Are you sure that these numbers are the right ones?

OpenStudy (minthia):

yes

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

\[(6,-1),(-3,-1); y2=-1,y1=-1,x2=-3,x1=6....\]

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

Does that make sense?

OpenStudy (minthia):

no but i trust ur leading me in the right direction

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

This needs to make sense before we move on... let me try to explain....

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

Out of the points, which number is the second y?

OpenStudy (minthia):

-3?

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

Close, that is the second x, try again, the intervals are always in the form of (x,y)....

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

Sorry for the late reply too.

OpenStudy (minthia):

-1

OpenStudy (theopenstudyowl):

yup, so it works the same for all of the others...
