help What is the slope of the line segment?

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

−3 Negative 1 over 3 1 over 3 3

OpenStudy (will.h):

Pick any 2 points lays on that line

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

so 1,3 and 2,6

OpenStudy (will.h):

Okay Now use the slope formula Slope = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 Where y2= 6 And y1= 3 and x2= 2 and x1= 1 Substitute the values in the formula and simplify

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

i don't get it

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

so slope intercept form is y=mx+b

OpenStudy (will.h):

Slope = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1 Where y2= 6 And y1= 3 and x2= 2 and x1= 1 Substitute the values in the formula and simplify So now Slope = 6 - 3/2 - 1 I just substituteD the values Make sense?

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

no :( i stink at these prob

OpenStudy (will.h):

Okay. Let's forget about the formula Do you know how to apply rise over run? Through the graph..

OpenStudy (ladylauren):

kinda its change in x over change in y

OpenStudy (will.h):
