Question

Marisol attempted to determine the slope of a line based on the two points shown in the table below.Х-1у4310Step 1: (-1, 4) and (3, 10)10-3Step 2: 4-(-1)Step 3: 5Which statement best explains Marisol's error?12-11O Marisol computedx - X2Mart this and returnSave and ExitNextSubmit

Answer 1

C

1) Let's rewrite the table:

x | y

-1 4

3 10

2) To find out the slope let's plug them into the slope formula:

`\begin{gathered} m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) \\ m=(4-(-1))/(10-3)=(5)/(7) \end{gathered}`

We can analyze Marisol's mistake since Marisol swapped the variables in the formula above.

Hence, the answer is C
