Question

Find the slope of the line.
1,2.5 -1,-2.5

Answer 1

It’s actually 2.5/1 because it’s rise/run not run/rise so the other person got it wrong

Answer 2

`(1)/(2.5)`

Explanation:

To find the slope, you need to figure out
`(rise)/(run)`. The equation for finding out
`(rise)/(run)` is
`y=mx+b`.
`mx=slope` and
`b=y-intersect`

For example,
`y=10x+100`.
`10x=slope` and
`100=y-intersect`

The slope of the line, with that information would be
`(2.5)/(1)` OR
`(1)/(2.5)` I haven't quite figured out what order I should go in yet. I'm working on that though. Although I am pretty sure that it would be the second one, I am not positive.
