Question

Directions: Directions: Identify x1, x2, y1, and y2. Solve for the of the line passing through the given points. Identify if the slope is positive, negative, zero, or undefined.

1.​(2,1) and (5,3)
2.​(-2,1) and (1, -3)
3.​(4,1) and (5,1)
4.​(7,-1) and (7,5)
5.​(-2,1) and (3,6)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Number 1

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (3 - 1)/(5 - 2)

m = 2/3 POSITIVE

Number 2

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-3 - 1)/(1 + 2)

m = -4/3 NEGATIVE

Number 3

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (1 - 1)/(5 - 4)

m = 0/1

m = 0 ZERO

Number 4

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (5 - 1)/(7 - 7)

m = 4/0

m = UNDEFINED

Number 5

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (6 - 1)/(3 + 2)

m = 5/5

m = 1 POSITIVE
