Question

alen is computing the slope of the line on the graph below. Step 1: (–4, 0) and (2, 3) Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: The slope is 2. Which statement describes Jalen’s error? Jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y. Jalen used the ordered pairs in the wrong order. Jalen made a computational error. Jalen used an ordered pair that is not on the line. Mark this and return

Answer 1

Jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.

Answer 2

The 1st Statement describes the Jalen's error .i.e., he computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.

Explanation:

Given: Points of line are ( -4 , 0 ) and ( 2, 3 )

To find : Slope

Formula to calculate Slope =
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

So, Slope of given line =
`(3-0)/(2-(-4))`

=
`(3)/(2+4)`

=
`(3)/(6)`

=
`(1)/(2)`

But value of Slope that Jalen compute is 2 which is incorrect.

Actual value of slope of line is reciprocal of Jalen's value of slope.

This means he computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.

Therefore, the 1st Statement describes the Jalen's error.
