Question

Use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line containing the points:
(-2 3/4,5) and (1 3/4,3)

A. m = undefined
B. m=4/9
C. m =-9
D. m=-4/9

Answer 1

\(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\)

Where the two points are in the form:

\(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1})~and~(\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)

Answer 2

So, I'll just rewrite the coordinates as decimals for simplicity.
(-2.75, 5) and (1.75, 3)
Now, we can find the slope, m, by using the formula:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
Let's take 3 to be our y2 and 5 to be our y1

Answer 3

aw dang tso beat me to it

Answer 4

Lol thanks ya'll :)

Answer 5

Did you figure it out

Answer 6

Oh yeah i think i did
