Question.

Hoodmemes:

Hoodmemes:

I think I just need help with this one

theghost:

ok

Hoodmemes:

which is the answer.

AZ:

The points are on the same line so what do you think that tells us about the slope?

AZ:

Remember that slope = rise / run If you calculate the rise/run from A to C and from A to B and from B to C and from B to D you'll get the same slope since they're all on the same line

Hoodmemes:

So A and B correct, sorry if I'm not responding quick

AZ:

Yes. What about C? Would the slope of those tiny segments of the line be the same as the slope of the entire line?

Hoodmemes:

I think so?

AZ:

Yeah so to make a line, you only need two points but a line is made up of multiple points, right? so, the slope of the line is going to be the slope of any two points on that line

AZ:

So the slopes of a small segment of the line is going to be the slope of the entire line

AZ:

Now what about the other answer choices? Remember that slope = Rise / Run which ones lists the line that rises over the line that runs

Hoodmemes:

I think abc and thats all

AZ:

If only it was that easy haha But there's more so here's an example |dw:1616718670244:dw|

AZ:

|dw:1616718690276:dw|

Hoodmemes:

The FB/FD E

AZ:

So look at your answer choices which one of them has the rise / run remember the line segments like AE and FB are going up- those are the rise and EC and FD are your runs since they're going to the side

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Hoodmemes The FB/FD E \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Exactly!

Hoodmemes:

Thank u
