Question

pls help
The graph below shows a line segment AB:

Graph of line segment AB with endpoints at negative 2 comma 2 and 4 comma negative 1

What is the slope of the line segment AB?

Answer 4

why

Answer 5

what do you mean?

Answer 6

This is a legitimate question. V-u: kindly write your 2 points in the form (x,y)
and then use the "slope formula" to find the slope of the line segment connecting these two points.

Answer 7

Look up "slope formula" on the 'Net if you're not 100% sure you already know it.

Answer 8

Sorry for late.
Still need help?

Answer 9

Yeah.

Answer 10

Do you have the graph or want to draw it?

Answer 11

one second.

Answer 12

It is away better now, although we can draw it as we have been given the above data.
Anyway...
Do you know the form of the slope of a line?

Answer 13

m=y2-y1/x2-x1

Answer 14

Excellent!
Can you assign two points from the graph of the line through them the line passes?

Answer 15

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

Answer 16

I don't think so.

These are three points. Pick two of them and plug them into the formula of the slope!

Answer 17

Could I chose those two points?

Answer 18

\[\frac{ 2--1 }{ -2-4}\]

Answer 19

hello?

Answer 20

Sorrrrryyyyyyy

Answer 21

"Could I chose those two points? (-2,2) and (4,-1)"
No, because the line does not pass through them.
Agree?

Answer 22

So i have to choose the middle one? I'm very confused.

Answer 23

Welcome back!

Not have to.

Just pick any two points that the line passes through to calculate its slope!

Answer 24

(1,-1) and (0,2)

Answer 25

1 min please

Answer 26

Look I don't have a lot of time left.

Answer 27

Yes, correct!
(1,-1) and (0,2)

\[m=\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }=\frac{ 2-(-1) }{ 0-1 }=\frac{ 3 }{ -1 }=-\frac{ 3 }{ 1 }=-3\]

That is the slope of your line!

I hope I helped you.
