Question

Help me with this worksheet

Answer 1

A.)

Rise = 2

Run = 5

m = 2/5

B.)

Rise = 2

Run = - 4

m = - 1/2

C.)

Rise = 3

Run = 1

m = 3

Explanation:

Rise = y2 - y1

Run = x2 - x1

Slope, m = Rise / Run

A.) (0,0) ; (5 2)

x1 = 0 ; y1 = 0

x2 = 5 ; y2 = 2

Rise = 2 - 0 = 2

Run = 5 - 0 = 5

m = 2/5

B.) (1, 2) ; (-3, 4)

x1 = 1 ; y1 = 2

x2 = - 3 ; y2 = 4

Rise = 4 - 2 = 2

Run = - 3 - 1 = - 4

m = 2/-4 = - 1/2

C.) (5,2) ; (6,5)

x1 = 5 ; y1 = 2

x2 = 6 ; y2 = 5

Rise = 5 - 2 = 3

Run = 6 - 5 = 1

m = 3/1 = 3
