Question

Can someone please help me? I really need help....
What would the slope of the graph that goes through the two points

(0, -4) and (-8, -4) be (show your work)? What would this graph look like? What should the equation of this line be?

Answer 1

slope interseft form

Answer 2

\[-4-0|-8+4\]

Answer 3

I'm a little confused...

Answer 4

\[slope= y2-y1/x2-x1\]

Answer 5

okay so
slope = -4- -4/-8--4?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

okay then what do i do?

Answer 8

u going to solve

Answer 9

... how do i do that?

Answer 10

whats -4 minus 4

Answer 11

-4minus -4 is

Answer 12

0

Answer 13

yea

Answer 14

i got this @mathmale

Answer 15

You need to find the slope of a line that goes thru both points.
You could identify one point as \[(x _{1},y _{1}) ~and~the~other ~as~ (x _{2}-y _{2}).\]

Answer 16

so then would i do -8- (-4)?

Answer 17

The slope of this line is then defined as\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 18

I would like for you to identify x1, y1, x2 and y2.

Substitute these values into the above formula for slope. If you are showing division, you must enclose the divisor inside parentheses.

Answer 19

\[m=y2-y1/x2-x1\]

Answer 20

that is the formula mathmale

Answer 21

So, Abby, what is the slope of this line? Please share all your work; I could give you most effective feedback if you do.

Thank you for typing out the formula for slope. If you are to show division using the ' / ' symbol, you MUST enclose both numerator and denominator within parentheses. This is why I am over-ruling @usercode3rror.

Please type out the formula for slope, m, again, this time using parentheses as necessary.

Answer 22

\[m=(y2-y1)\div(x2-x1)\]

Answer 23

better?

Answer 24

Yes, but I asked Abby to do that, not for you to do that.

But anyway.

Abby, please find the slope of the line connecting the two given points, using this formula for slope that includes the parentheses.

Answer 25

sorry bout that @mathmale

Answer 26

Abby? Still involved?

Answer 27

Your choice. Better to finish the problem solution now than to postpone it. At least that's my opinion.
