The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the one y portion of the line by one x portion of the line. In this problem we have two points which can indicate us one portion of the y axis and one portion of the x axis. If we have two points of one line, then we can calculate its slope:
Point one (x1, y1)
Point two (x2, y2)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So lets use our data:
Point one (2, 10)
Point two (5, 8)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (8 - 10)/(5 - 2<span>)
</span>m = -2/3
therefore the slope is negative and is -2/3

a driver is below the surface of the water at - 15m. he dives down by 6m, then rises 4m where is he now​
nevsk [136]

Given:

A driver is below the surface of the water at - 15m. he dives down by 6m, then rises 4m.

To find:

The current location of the driver.

Solution:

In this problem, negative sign is used for downward direction or the distance below the surface of the water.

Initial location = -15 m

Dives down by 6m, it means - 6m,  then rises 4m, it means 4 m.

Now, the current location is

-15 m-6m+4m

=-21m+4m

=-17m

Therefore, the correct location of the driver is at -17 m it means her is 17 m  below the surface of the water.

What is the Slope of the line
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

m=\frac{-3}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope Formula: m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Simply plug in 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope <em>m</em>:

m=\frac{-4-(-1)}{5-1}

m=\frac{-4+1}{4}

m=\frac{-3}{4}
