Question

Find The slope
PLEASE HELP ME ​

Answer 1

The slope is
`(5)/(2)` (5/2)

Explanation:

Key skills needed: Subtraction, Division, Slope Formula

1) So to find the slope here, we use the slope formula.

Given 2 points
`(x_1, y_1)` and
`(x_2, y_2)`

To find the slope you do:
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

2) So in this case, the 2 points are (-1,-2) and (1,3)

3) We can use the slope formula to find the slope

• -1 is
  `x_1`
• -2 is
  `y_1`
• 1 is
  `x_2`
• 3 is
  `y_2`

Now we do
`(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

This would be:
`(3-(-2))/(1-(-1))`

If you are subtracting -2, that means you add 2. If you are subtracting -1, then that means you add 1.

This means --->
`(3+2)/(1+1)`

3+2 is 5, and 1+1 is 2 so your slope would be
`(5)/(2)` (5/2)

Hope you understood and have a nice day!! :D
