Question

Find the slope of the following ^ :))
|

Answer 1

heres what u need

Explanation:

`(-1)/(-2) (-1)/(3)`

divide top from bottom

`-2/-1=2`

2 is your x

`3/-1=-3`

-3 is your y

so your slope is (2,-3)

Answer 2

m [slope] = 0

Explanation:

When the slope is 0, x cancels out so the y value will remain the same.

There are several methods to finding slope but the easiest way to do this is by dividing the second y value - first y value by the second x value - first x value.

m = ∆y/∆x = y2-y1/x2-x1

You y2 and x2 are interchangable with y and x, because y1, and x1 are part of the starting coordinate,.

The reason you subtract the second

value from the first is because in a directly proportional relationship, y increases as x increases so the next x values will have a greater y value, this is a measure of steepness.

So the slope is:

-1 - -1 / 3 - -2 = -1 + 1 / 3 + 2 = 0 / 5 = 0.
