@whpalmer4

Answer 2

how about this problem? have you done or tried anything?

Answer 3

Yyes i tried multiple times

Answer 4

what did you do? show me your work...

Answer 5

I did the slope formula which is y2-y1/x2-x1 then i plugged in the numbers (5,15)(13,11)

Answer 6

what did you use for y2, what did you use for y1, what did you use for x2, what did you use for x1? what was the result you got?

Answer 7

11-15=-4
13-5=8

Answer 8

I used 11 for y2 y1 for 15 and x2 for 13 and x1 for 5

Answer 9

so what did you get for your answer when you did that?

Answer 10

-4/8 then when i tried to reduced it i got -2/4

Answer 11

and can that be reduced again?

Answer 12

then i reduced it again and got -1/2

Answer 13

yes, -1/2 is the slope of that line

Answer 14

but perhaps they want a decimal value instead of a fraction?

Answer 15

yes they wanted -0.5

Answer 16
