not exactly sur but it might be down 10 over2

anonymous · Answer

Remember that the slope formula is $$\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }$$

anonymous · Answer

Plug in the two points and you should have your answer :)

anonymous · Answer

Also note that C is going to be (x1,y1) because you're starting at C and going towards D (you should end up with a positive slope value)

anonymous · Answer

Ok usually my trouble here is what's the y2 and y1 and x2 and x1.... They've gotta be specific cause it's subtraction....

anonymous · Answer

Oh the last comment answered that lol thanks.

You're welcome :) Most of the time you start from left to right. The left most point is (x1,y1) and you go to the right. If the second point is higher then you'll have a positive slope. If the second point goes lower, then you'll have a negative slope.
