then wat do u think u should do

thebossofme191 · Answer

idk

myininaya · Answer

What do you know about slopes?

thebossofme191 · Answer

nothing tbh

aziaboo45 · Answer

peace

myininaya · Answer

So you don't know the formula to find the slope of a line given two points?
Also do you know that if two lines have the same slope while also not having the same y-intercept means the two lines are parallel?

thebossofme191 · Answer

so your basically saying they are parallel

myininaya · Answer

I have not said that.

myininaya · Answer

You have to find the slope of both lines and see if they are the same.

myininaya · Answer

They certainly look it in the graph though

thebossofme191 · Answer

the slopes of the lines are 1

myininaya · Answer

Use the slope formulas to find the slope but don't do any arithmetic .

myininaya · Answer

that is the way your choices are setup

thebossofme191 · Answer

the slopes are 1 they are both equal

myininaya · Answer

okay
but your choices use the slope formula without doing any arithmetic

myininaya · Answer

but you are right upon the simplification you do get both are 1

thebossofme191 · Answer

i think the answer is A

myininaya · Answer

so you think (4-1)/(-2-1) is 1?

thebossofme191 · Answer

no i was just guessing

myininaya · Answer

oh okay well can you show me the formula you are using to find the slope with the numbers entered without doing any arithmetic?

thebossofme191 · Answer

no i didnt use any formula sorry

myininaya · Answer

ok can you please

myininaya · Answer

do you know the formula for computing the slope of a line given two points?

thebossofme191 · Answer

ummm i think i do

myininaya · Answer

$$\text{ the slope of a line going through } (a,b) \text{ and } (c,d) \ \text{ is } \frac{d-b}{c-a}$$

thebossofme191 · Answer

oooohhhh

myininaya · Answer

Use this formula to find the slope of the line going through (-2,1) and (1,4)
Use this formula to find the slope of the line going through (-1,-1) and (3,3)

thebossofme191 · Answer

4-1/-1-(-2)?

myininaya · Answer

why is that -1 there and not 1?

myininaya · Answer

Use this formula to find the slope of the line going through (-2,1) and (1,4)
is (4-1)/(1-(-2)) 

you try the other one

thebossofme191 · Answer

oops

thebossofme191 · Answer

im very confused rn

myininaya · Answer

$$\text{ the slope of a line going through } (a,b) \text{ and } (c,d) \ \text{ is } \frac{d-b}{c-a}  $$

You are given a line going through (3,3) and (-1,-1)
identify what a,b,c, and d are by comparing to my points (a,b) and (c,d)
and use the slope formula I gave ( that fraction thing)

thebossofme191 · Answer

um ok
