Question

Consider:

• A(-3, -4)
. B (5,2)
• C(11,-6)
What is the slope of segment BC?
A . -4/3
B . -3/4
C . 3/4
D . 4/3

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bold{(3)/(4) }}`

Explanation:

First, graph points:

(-3, -4) is not necessary but you can graph it

(5,2)

(11,-6)

The slope is change over y over change over x

y is rise

x is run

rise / run

rise (y) = 6

run (x) = 8

Simplify the fraction 6/8

6 ÷ 2 = 3

8 ÷ 2 = 4

= 3/4

This is not a negative slope because the line is going up from the left, not down from the right.

Answer 2

My answer is c because 11 -5=6 2-(-6)=8 put together is 6/8= 3/4
