## anonymous one year ago MEDAL!!! ALGEBRA 2 4. What is the slope of the line that passes throughout the given points? (3,2) and (5,12) 5 -5 -1/5 1/5

1. pooja195

$\huge~\rm~\frac{ y_2-y_1 }{ x_2-x_1 }=slope$

2. anonymous

2-12 3-5

3. pooja195

No

4. misty1212

lol yes!

5. pooja195

@misty1212 12-2

6. misty1212

$\huge \frac{2-12}{3-5}$ for sure

7. jim_thompson5910

@pooja195 as long as you keep the order the same, it doesn't matter

-10/2 -5

9. pooja195

3-5 is not 2

10. misty1212

god does not tell you which one is $$(x_1,y_1)$$ and $$(x_2,y_2)$$ you get to pick that for yourself

11. pooja195

@misty1212 ok i get it.

thats not right -10/-2=?

14. pooja195

3-5=-2 NOT 2

(x1,y1) = (3,2) (x2,y2) = (5,12) ------------------------------------------------------- $\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ $\Large m = \frac{12 - 2}{5-3}$ $\Large m = \frac{10}{2}$ $\Large m = 5$ ------------------------------------------------------- $\Large m = \frac{y_{1}-y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}$ $\Large m = \frac{2-12}{3-5}$ $\Large m = \frac{-10}{-2}$ $\Large m = 5$ ------------------------------------------------------- Either way, you get the same slope.
