Answer:

3. The slope is 1/-2

4. The slope is 0/6 or 0

Explanation:

Don't worry you did number 3 correctly, but you should always completely simplify your fraction if its possible. In the fraction 4/-8, the numerator and denominator are both divisible by 4 and can be simplified to 1/-2.

You used the equation for finding the slope correctly in number 4, but 8-2=6. You accidently put 7. So, the correct fraction would be 0/6. This can also be simplified because 0 divided by 6 is 0. So, the slope is 0.

Answer:

#4. m=0;

#3. m =
(-1)/(2)

Explanation:

It seems right.

#4.

Maybe your teacher wants you to write m=0; because when a fraction has a numerator equal to zero then the fraction is zero.

#3.

Maybe your teachers want you to simplify the fraction and write m =
(-1)/(2)
