Question

Jaclyn used the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points given in the table. A 2-column table with 2 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 0, negative 3. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 4, 0. 1. Point 1: (0, 4); Point 2: (negative 3, 0). 2. Slope = StartFraction y 2 minus y 1 Over x 2 minus x 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 0 minus 4 Over negative 3 minus 0 EndFraction = StartFraction negative 4 Over negative 3 EndFraction. 3. Slope = four-thirds. In which step did Jaclyn make an error? In step 1, she switched the x and y values in point 2. In step 2, she used the wrong formula for slope. In step 3, she simplified the slope incorrectly. Jaclyn did not make an error.

Answer 1

Answer:

Jaclyn did not make an error in the slope calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaclyn used the slope formula to find the slope of the line through the points given in the table.

A 2-column table with 2 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 0,-3. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 4, 0.

Step 1 : Point 1: (0, 4); Point 2: (-3, 0).

Step 2 : Slope = $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} = \frac{0 - 4}{- 3 - 0} = \frac{- 4}{- 3} = \frac{4}{3}$

Therefore, Jaclyn did not make an error in the slope calculation. (Answer)
