b. 0
c. 1
d. undefined

Answer 1

May I help?

Answer 2

Sure!

Answer 3

Thanks.


I hope that helps!

Answer 4

Graph the two given pionts and draw a straight line through them.

Answer 5

The slope a vertical line is ?

Answer 6

Hold on give me a sec to graph them

Answer 7

Sure.

Answer 8

Okay I'm thinking it's either a or b

Answer 9

What does your graph look like?

Answer 10

Oh wait it'd be b!!

Answer 11

Why?

Answer 12

A slope value of zero would be for a horizontal line.

Answer 13

Is your line horizontal?

Answer 14

Vertical

Answer 15

All vertical lines have undefined slope.

Answer 16

oh

Answer 17

That's what it looks like

Answer 18

Very good.
That is the correct graph.

Answer 19

Yay! Okay so all vertical lines are undefined

Answer 20

Yes, exactly all vertical lines have undefined SLOPE.

Answer 21

Oh okay! Could you help with a few more?

Answer 22

Sure.

Answer 23

What is the slope of a line that passes through (-2, 5) and (1,4)?

a. -3
b. -2
c. -1/3
d 1/3

Answer 24

I already have it graphed and it's like a diagonal line

Answer 25

Here you need to use the slope formula.

Answer 26

Here it is

Answer 27

From the graph we can tell that the slope is negative because it slopes downward from left to right.

Answer 28

Right. So we can rule out D

Answer 29

Yes.

Answer 30

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

Answer 31

Okay so I got 3/6

Answer 32

Which simplifies to 1/2. But I think I did something wrong bc 1/2 isn't an answer

Answer 33

Try again please.

Answer 34

I got the same answer

Answer 35

Are those numbers for the formula exponents?

Answer 36

No.

Answer 37

Okay that's what I thought

Answer 38

They just label the points as 1 and 2

Answer 39

Oh well that's where I went wrong

Answer 40

An exponent is a raised number.

These are lowered and read as "sub 1" and "sub 2."

Answer 41

-3

Answer 42

Try again please.

Answer 43

Rise over run

Answer 44

Difference between y-coordinates / difference between x-coordinates

Answer 45

For that I got -3/1

Answer 46

through (-2, 5) and (1,4)?

4 - 5
------
1 - (-2)

Answer 47

through (-2, 5) and (1,4)

Point 1 = (-2, 5)
and
Point 2 = (1,4)

Answer 48

$$\huge (x_1,y_1)$$
$$\huge(x_2,y_2)$$

Answer 49

oh! so it's -1/3

Answer 50

You got!!!
:-)

Answer 51

Thank you so much for being patient with me. I didn't sleep last night so I'm kind of out of it today

Answer 52

You need to be alert to do this stuff.

Answer 53

Yes. You're right

Answer 54

Thank you !

Answer 55
