Please help, I don't remember how to solve this, I will fan and medal!! What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (3/2, -2) and (-3, 7/3) ??

OpenStudy (chase0858):

-5.83333333333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the options are -27/26, -26/27, 26/27, or 27/26

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you solve this? I don't want a direct answer, I need help understanding

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Use the slope formula \(\Large \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy... and how would i use the formula for the fractions?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

plug in the points you have \(\large (x_1,y_1)\) and \(\large (x_2,y_2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(3/2, -2) and (-3, 7/3)

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep. plug those points into the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(7/3)-(-2) / (-3)-(3/2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

yep. now just simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.3333/-4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think i did it wrong because that isn't one of the options
