b. (-4,1); (2,3)
c.(7,5); (7, -3)
Question 31157: Please help me solve this linear equation.
Determine the slope of the line through each pair of points below.
a. (3,5); (8,9)
b. (-4,1); (2,3)
c.(7,5); (7, -3)
an answer to just one of them with an explanation of how to solve it would be helpful. :) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! slope = (change in Y values)/(corresponding change in X values)
Looking at the 1st problem:
change in Y is 9-5=4
change in X is 8-3=5
slope is 4/5
