Question

Please help.

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (0, −5) and (4, 2)?

Answer 1

7/4

Answer 2

use slope formula:

\[\frac{ y_1-y_2 }{ x_1-x_2 }\]

substitute the values and solve

Answer 4

Yea, I got 1/4. @AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 5

Am I right?

Answer 6

it's actually y2 - y1 divided by x2 - x1.
y2= 2
y1= -5

x2= 4
x1= 0

Answer 7

y2-y1/x1-x2 is same as y1-y2/x1-x2

Answer 8

it is -7/-4=7/4

Answer 9

oh I see!

Answer 10

as you get : (-5-2)/(0-4)=-7/-4=7/4

Answer 11

thnx @AlexandervonHumboldt2 !!!

Answer 12

np:)

@kaylie.sullivan there are same: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=-(y2-y1)/-(x2-x1)=(-y2+y1)/(-x2+x1)=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2) hahaha same fomulas
