## anonymous one year ago Choose the correct slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3, -5) (Whats the answer thats all I need to know)

1. anonymous

I'll give a medal

2. Zale101

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

3. anonymous

Is it -1?

4. Zale101

Can you show me how you got it?

5. anonymous

No, can you help me with a few more?

6. anonymous

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (6, -3) and has a slope of 1/2 (Again just need the answer, I love you guys thanks!)

7. Zale101

What did you get for the first problem? For the second problem, you need to know what's the point slope formula. And again, all you have to do is plug and chug with the given point and slope. What is the point slope formula?

Choose the point-slope form of the equation below that represents the line that passes through the point (6, -3) and has a slope of 1/2 A. y - 6 = 1/2 (x + 3) B. y = 1/2x - 6 C. y + 3 = -1/5 (x - 2) D. y - 2 = -1/5 (x + 3)

9. Zale101

Point slope formula: $$\Large y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$ Where m is the slope 1/2 x1,y1 is the given point (6, -3)

10. Zale101

plug all the given info in
