Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line passing through the given points. (–4, 7) and (0, 8)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay so it will be

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

thats your fomula

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

\[\frac{ 8-7 }{ 0+4 }\]

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so then that will be 1/4

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

the rate of change or slope is 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help with one more

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

Explain why the triangles below are proportional to each other.

Do you think you could do this. What is the slope of this line? How much does each pencil cost?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rebeccaxhawaii

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay well give me two points from that graph

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

anyone of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1,0.15) and (2,0.30)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

okay so

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

\[\frac{ 0.30-0.15 }{ 2-1 }\]

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

so \[\frac{ .15 }{ 1 } = 0.15\]

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

therefore youre slope is .15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with all of them :)

rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):

open a new question and tag me
