## anonymous 3 years ago Find the slope of the line passing through (11, -2) and (2, -2). A. 4/9 B. 9 C. 0 D. Undefined

1. UnkleRhaukus

$(x_1,y_1),\qquad (x_2,y_2)$ the slope is the RISE / RUN Rise is $$y_2-y_1$$ Run is $$x_2-x_1$$

you tell me ,

4. anonymous

idk a

5. UnkleRhaukus

have you found the rise ?

6. UnkleRhaukus

in this case the rise is $(-2)-(-2)$

7. UnkleRhaukus

and the run is $$(2)-(11)$$

8. anonymous

ok

9. UnkleRhaukus

maybe a diagram could help

10. anonymous

yea

k

15. UnkleRhaukus

notice how there is no rise ?

16. anonymous

yes

17. UnkleRhaukus

remembering that the slope $$m$$ is rise over run $m=\frac{0}{9}=$

18. anonymous

ok

19. anonymous

ok thanks

Mr.Niceguy420 the idea here is to learn. After all, if you find a question like this in the future (which you will) then you need to know how to do it yourself.

22. UnkleRhaukus

you may have came to the wrong place Mr.Niceguy420

23. UnkleRhaukus

Just so you know. I'm in Calc now and this stuff is still coming back. Mr.Niceguy420, cheating ultimately just hurts yourself.

Using your resources during a test is cheating unless it's open computer open book.
