SOLUTION: Okay, one last question. when is says find slope and the points are (2,-2), (-3,1) would the slop in fact be -5/3 another one (-6,-3), (-1,1) sope would be 7/3 just t

Question 409487: Okay, one last question.
when is says find slope and the points are (2,-2), (-3,1) would the slop in fact be -5/3
another one (-6,-3), (-1,1)
sope would be 7/3

just trying to make sure im on the right track

yes,the slop in fact is -5%2F3
proof:
if the points are (2,-2), (-3,1), the slope will be:
Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (2, -2) and (-3, 1)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+%28y%5B1%5D%29%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+x%5B1%5D%29


m+=+%281+-+%28-2%29%29%2F%28-3+-+2%29


m+=+%281+%2B+2%29%2F%28-3+-+2%29


m+=+%283%29%2F%28-5%29


m+=+-3%2F5



Answer: Slope is m+=+-3%2F5




if the points are (-6,-3), (-1,1), the slope will be:

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the slope


Slope of the line through the points (-6, -3) and (-1, 1)



m+=+%28y%5B2%5D+-+%28y%5B1%5D%29%29%2F%28x%5B2%5D+-+%28x%5B1%5D%29%29


m+=+%281+-+%28-3%29%29%2F%28-1+-+%28-6%29%29


m+=+%281+%2B+3%29%2F%28-1+%2B+6%29


m+=+%284%29%2F%285%29


Answer: Slope is m+=+4%2F5



slope would be 7%2F3- this was incorrect; correct answer is m=4%2F5
