I need to find the slope of the line and it has to be a decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (electronia):

OH! Im in 7th grade, but I wish I could help. Sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's fine

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

slope is find by \[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

put the values and you will get in decimals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 5-1 }{ 10-5 }\] or is it the other way around?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or does it matter?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.80?

OpenStudy (smilie2015):

u have to consider(5,5) as (x2,y2) not only 5 as y2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so (5, 5) is (x2, y2) and (10, 1) is (x1, y1)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh I understand now
