Answer 1

When the equation is in the form
y = ax + b
the slope will equal "a"

Answer 2

It's asking for the slope of the line right? So wouldn't the person use rise over run

y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 3

I got -2

Answer 4

citrus - yes that is the way to do it.
My method (using calculus) is the easier way.

Answer 5

Oh yea true my bad :)

Answer 6

Citrus - no need to be sorry.
Doing it by the rise over run method works - especially when you don't know calculus.
