Slope Formula Quizlet
Find the slope between the points
(-1, 1)
and
(-2, -3)
.
slope formula:
1
In the slope formula, on top we get:
(1) - (-3)
(1) - (-2)
(1) - (-1)
(-3) - (-1)
(-3) - (-2)
2
This simplifies as:
-4
-2
2
4
something else
3
In the slope formula, underneath we get:
(-2) - (-3)
(-2) - (-1)
(-1) - (-3)
(-1) - (-2)
(-1) - (1)
4
This simplifies as:
-3
-1
1
2
something else
5
So the slope is:
m = 3
m = 4
m = 1/2
m = 1/3
m = 1/4
