Question

Match the SLOPE of the line that goes through each pair of points (use the slope formula (y2-yl) / (x2-x1) * 5 undefined 5/2 (4,7) and (6,2) (-3,5) and (-2,0) Ο Ο Ο Ο (4,7) and (4, 2) Ο Ο Ο Ο Ο Ο (3,6) and (-2, 6) This question requires one response per row

Answer 1

To find the slope, use the formula below:

`\text{slope}=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)`

A. (4, 7) and (6, 2)

Here, we have:

(x1, y1) ==> (4, 7)

(x2, y2) ==> (6, 2)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(2-7)/(6-4)=(-5)/(2) \\ \\ \text{slope =-}(5)/(2) \end{gathered}`

B. (-3, 5) and (-2, 0)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(0-5)/(-2-(-3))=(0-5)/(-2+3)=(-5)/(1)=-5 \\ \\ \text{slope = -5} \end{gathered}`

C. (4, 7) and (4, 2)

D. (3, 6) and (-2, 6)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope = }(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(6-6)/(-2-3)=(0)/(-5)=0 \\ \\ \text{slope = 0} \end{gathered}`
