Answer 1

fan and medal :)

Answer 2

You can use the slope formula \[m = \frac{ y_{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\] where \[(x_1,y_1)~~~~(x_2,y_2)\] are your points

Answer 3

I'm sorry I don't understand please explain ;/

Answer 4

It's the slope formula, rise/run

Answer 5

m is your slope just plug and chug your points, refer to this http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/slope.html

Answer 6

4-(-5)÷1-(-2)=9/3=3/1= 3, slope = 3

Answer 7

sorry the slope is -3
