Yes
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
ok thanks wait befor you go are you good at slopes
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
if so i really need your help
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
Yeah, what's your question?
OpenStudy (rayman5766):

OpenStudy (rayman5766):
is that positive 3
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
or negative -1/3
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
or am i wrong both ways
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
Always remember this formula \[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }\]
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
i have been on this same question for 5 hours i have counter and i have five question and i only did 1

of course that makes since thank you
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
but wait what comes first i am freaking out again
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
i never been so confused at math before i suck at slopes
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
So what would be the slope for this case ?
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
I'm sure you can do it !

OpenStudy (rayman5766):
well the slope is positive
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
that is when the line is like this |dw:1464909163365:dw|
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
Yes, correct
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
well what then what do i do after words
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
wait the formula

OpenStudy (math&ing001):
Yes the formula =)
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
y5 - -4
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
x1 - -2
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
what then
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
remember --=+

1/-1
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
but that's not one of the answers
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
i am having a panic attack
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
It's not -1/1
For (1,5) and (-2,-4)
\[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1 }=\frac{ 5-(-4) }{ 1-(-2) }=\frac{ 5+4 }{ 1+2 }\]
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
so wait its 9/3

Yes, it simplifies further..
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
in to what sir please
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
HELP ME
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
Look i know your helping but i suck at slopes
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
9 = 3 * 3 (this is not slopes but prime factorization)

OpenStudy (math&ing001):
You can simplify by 3 ;]
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
wich will give me 3/3
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
correct?
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
\[\frac{ 9 }{ 3 }=\frac{ 3*3 }{ 3 }=3\]
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
of course iw as so blind man i fill dumb the first question was easy because it was horizontal wich means it a 0 but then i got confused

Let me give you another example, to make sure you got it perfectly ;]
Give me the slope for the line passing through points (6,-1) and (-2,-3).
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
1/5
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
correct?
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
Please show me steps =)
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
I'm more interested in the method than the result :3

um well ok
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
wai before i tell you tell me this
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
am i right
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
if so then i will tell you
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
I want to see the steps so I can identify the mistake and fix it..

@rayman5766 are you still here ?
OpenStudy (rayman5766):
uh yes i don't really know how i got it i asked a friend and he just gives me the answers and i try to see if there right or not
OpenStudy (math&ing001):
That is not serious -_-
