Question

Can someone show me how to find the slope for this thank you

What is the slope of the line through the points (-3, -4) and (-1, 4)? m = _?_

Answer 1

slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are points

Answer 2

Subtract the two y-coordinates.
Subtract the two x-coordinates in the same order.
Divide the first difference by the second difference.
That is the slope.

Answer 4

\(\tt slope = \dfrac{difference~in~y}{difference~in~x}\)

Answer 5

ok.. so here is an easy visual method ... draw a simple number plane and plot the points



form a right triangle...

the run is the distance from -3 to -1

the rise is the distance from -4 to 4

the the slope is

\[m = \frac{rise}{run}\]

hope it helps

Answer 6

Ok so (-4) - 4 / (-1) - (-3)? and the result will be the answer?

Answer 7

no.. it won't result in the answer you need to check your information

Answer 8

oh whoops i have to switch the y's around oops lol
