need help http://prntscr.com/b8y5l8

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

You need the slope formula. m = y2 - y1 / (x2 - x1)

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

You have the coordinates (-2, 1) and (1,6)

OpenStudy (asad786):

ok

OpenStudy (asad786):

so-2 -1

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

x1 = -2 y1 = 1 x2 = 1 y2 - 6

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

Now plug it into the formula

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

correction: x1 = -2 y1 = 1 x2 = 1 y2 =6

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

(6 - 1)/( 1 + 2) =

OpenStudy (asad786):

1.666666

OpenStudy (asad786):

so d

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

(6 - 1)/( 1 + 2) = = 5/3

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

that's C, not D.

OpenStudy (asad786):

oh srry

OpenStudy (asad786):

i thought the slash meant divide

OpenStudy (asad786):

thx @pottersheep

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

You were correct to divide as well, 1.666666 = 5/3, the same fraction I said.

OpenStudy (pottersheep):

No problem, good luck.
