Answer =-3 or -3/1
You can either do rise/run
Or you can find two points on the line and do (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Two points on the line are (-1,2) and (-3,-4)
X1=-1 Y1=2
X2=-3 Y2=-4
(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (-4-2)/(-3-(-1)) =(-6)/(-3+1)
=-6/-2 = -3
So slope =-3/1 or -3 (same thing)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for this is the one we use when we are given the ratio the directed line segment is separated into as opposed to the point being, say, one-third of the way from one point to another. The 2 equations we use to find the x and y coordinates of this separating point are:
and
where x1, x2, y1, y2 come from the coordinates of A and B, and a = 1 (from the ratio) and b = 2 (from the ratio). Filling in for x first:
and then y:

The coordinates of point E, then, are (0, 1).
When multiplying a whole number by a fraction, put the whole number as a fraction over one. 9/1 times 3/4. When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across. 9(3)=27 and 1(4)=4. The new fraction is 27/4.
