Answer:

slope = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Azizah got 1 for the slope of the line through 2 points (1,2) and (4,-1).

To find out slope apply slope formula

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

(1,2) is x1,y1

(4,-1) is x2,y2

slope =\frac{-1-2}{4-1}

slope =\frac{-3}{3}=-1

So the slope is -1 not 1

She made a mistake in the negative sign

-1-2 is -3. negative by positive is negative

(1,2)(4,-1)
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (-1 - 2) / (4 - 1) = -3/3 = -1

the slope is -1......I am not sure of the mistake.....unless she just added (-1 - 2) and got 3 instead of -3.......or when dividing -3/3....she maybe forgot about the negative sign

tina drove 60 miles per hour to tucson. write a function rule that relates the number of miles traveled to the total of the hour
just olya [345]
A function rule would be y = 60x. Y represents the number of miles traveled, and X represents the number of hours. For example, if Tina drove for three hours, it would be 60×3 which is 180 miles.
