## anonymous one year ago What is the slope of the line shown in the graph? −2 −1 −1 over 2 1 over 2

1. anonymous

2. pooja195

$\huge~Slope=\frac{ Rise }{ Run}$

3. anonymous

never seen that before ha so would it be a ?

4. pooja195

ooo wait

5. sohailiftikhar

1 over 2

6. anonymous

Thats wrong lol

7. pooja195

-2 i think is right...

8. anonymous

yea because i dont see any of the other answers being any lose to right tbh compared to -2

9. anonymous

Guys it's C.

10. anonymous

explain ?

11. pooja195

We are moving to the left (run)

12. anonymous

Like pooja said rise over run

13. pooja195

run is -2 .-.

14. pooja195

and we only went up 1

15. pooja195

when you divde you get -2 .-.

16. sohailiftikhar

oh sorry its C... as slope is in second quad.. so it will be negative..

17. pooja195

.-.

18. anonymous

im confused lol

19. anonymous

haha -2 was wrong

20. pooja195

Did it show y?

21. anonymous

22. pooja195

23. anonymous

i am taking a practice test yeah review

24. pooja195

thats interesting.

25. sohailiftikhar

so what is the correct ans ..?

26. anonymous

im guessing -1/2 but it doesnt say

27. anonymous

because all the other answers are even more foolish >.>

28. anonymous

thanks for your guy's help either way i appreciate the effort lol

29. sleepyjess

The slope of a line is $$\dfrac {y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

30. sleepyjess

(-2, 2) is $$(x_1, y_1)$$ (0,1) is $$(x_2, y_2)$$

31. sleepyjess

Now we just plug in the values into the formula

32. sohailiftikhar

yes it is ...

33. anonymous

thank you for that im gonna write that down !!!!!!!!!!

34. sleepyjess

No problem! Would you still like to find the answer on this?

35. sleepyjess

x1, y1 is always going to be the point on the left, and x2, y2 is always going to be the point on the right
