Question

What is the slope of the line segment? −3 Negative 1 over 3 1 over 3 3

Answer 1

Ah, one of my FAVORITES!
1. Take 2 points, ill take (0, 0) and (4, 12)
2. Set them as "1" and "2" so (0, 0) be 1 and (4, 12) be 2.
3. $\frac{y_{2}-y _{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1}}$ and insert the equations.
4. You get $\frac{12-0}{4-0}$ which simplifies to $\frac{12}{4}$.
5. $12 /4$=3
6. Slope = 3
Hope this helps ^^
