A line passes through the ordered pairs (4,1) and (2,8). What is the slope? Please help due today

1 answer:

4 0

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ 4 &,& 1~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 2 &,& 8~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{8-1}{2-4}\implies \cfrac{7}{-2}\implies -\cfrac{7}{2}$

I tryed my best to figure out what all of the numbers were. if i got any wrong then please tell me and i will put the right answer in the comments.

1) 3/5= 5/x (cross multiply)
3x=5(5)
3x=25
x= 25/3 -or- 8.33

2) 2/4=x/12 (cross multiply)
 2(12)=4x
 24=4x
 6=x
3) 10/x=5/9 (cross multiply)
10(9)=5x
90=5x
18=x
4) 5/5=x/18 (cross multiply)
5(18)=18x
90=18x
5=x
