Type out the slope formula, please, and then follow it.

Answer 2

Do you know what the y2 and y1 stand for?

Answer 3

Unfortunately, that is NOT correct, and you should not be spreading an incorrect form. Please write the formula as

Answer 4

\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]

Answer 5

y2 is 1, and y1 is 5

Answer 6

in this formula, the 2's and the 1's are subscripts.

hiya, hiya, pls show your work.

Answer 7

m=?

Answer 8

$$\huge \text{slope = } \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \text{, } x_2 \ne x_1$$

Answer 9

1-5
4- -2

got it so far?
