draw a vertical line through x = 1 where does this vertical line cross the parabola?

3. anonymous

yes but I get confused with whether or not I draw it vertically or horizontally

4. jim_thompson5910

you draw it vertical (straight up and down)

5. anonymous

1,-3

6. jim_thompson5910

yep (1,-3) is on the graph do the same for x = 3

7. anonymous

yep that where I agian get confused x=3 = nothing...

8. anonymous

that's*

9. jim_thompson5910

draw a vertical line through x = 3 where does that vertical line touch the parabola

10. anonymous

3,1 ??

11. jim_thompson5910

good

12. jim_thompson5910

the two points are (1,-3) and (3,1)

13. jim_thompson5910

find the slope through (1,-3) and (3,1) slope formula $\Large m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

14. anonymous

-2 then

15. jim_thompson5910

no the slope isn't -2

16. jim_thompson5910

are you familiar with the slope formula?

17. anonymous

18. jim_thompson5910

did you use the slope formula to get 2?

19. anonymous

yes

Is everything clear here or do you still need help?
