Question

Y- y Use the slope formula to find the X-X slope. 1. (3,-1) and (-3,5) 2. (4, -2) and (2,-3) 3. (3,-1) and (-6,-4)

Answer 1

`\text{slope}=m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

1. (3, -1)(-3, 5)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ \text{slope}=(5+1)/(-3-3) \\ \text{slope}=(6)/(-6) \\ \text{slope}=-1 \end{gathered}`

2. (4, -2)(2, -3)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=(-3+2)/(2-4) \\ \text{slope}=(-1)/(-2) \\ \text{slope}=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

3. (3, -1)(-6, -4)

`\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=(-4+1)/(-6-3) \\ \text{slope}=(-3)/(-9) \\ \text{slope}=(1)/(3) \end{gathered}`
