do you know how to find a slope?
OpenStudy (lolacole12):
where is the line
OpenStudy (littleheron):
no
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
Slope is rise over run.
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
\[\frac{ Rise }{ Run }\]

Our "Rise" is our y-coordinates. Our "Run" is our x-coordinates.
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
The formula for slope is \[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep
OpenStudy (anonymous):
she got it do you understand that ?
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
(-2, 6) and (0, 4)
So your first pair of coordinates can be (-2,6), if you'd like. So. x1=-2 y1=6

Second pair can be (0,4), if you'd like. So, x2=0 y2=4.
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
I'll plug these in for you, but you will simplify.
OpenStudy (maddy1251):
\[\frac{ 4-6 }{ 0-(-2) }\]
