Question

What is the slope of the line if its :
(2,6) and (1,3)
A. 2/1
B. 3/2
C. 3/1
D. 1/3

Answer 1

\(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\)

Where the two points are in the form:

\(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})~and~(\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)

@XoXoTheWeeknd @~ :D

Answer 3

thanks for the welcoming :) but i dont understand slopes at all...im kind of new to this

Answer 4

What are the 2 y-values from the two points? :)

Answer 5

6 and 3? @TheSmartOne

Answer 6

Yes you're right Xoxo

Answer 7

thnks :) what would be the next step? im taking notes for review

Answer 8

Use http://www.geogebra.org/ and make a line, find rise over run, and there is your slope! This is a very helpful website! let me know if you need anything else.

Answer 9

So 6 - 3 = 3

That's the numerator

What are the 2 x-values?

Answer 10

2 and 1 @TheSmartOne

Answer 11

and 2 - 1 = 1

What is 3/1 = ?

Answer 12

since 3 is our numerator, and 1 is our denominator

we get the fraction as 3/1

which is the slope :)

Answer 13
