$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-3})\quad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{1}) ~\hfill \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{1}-\stackrel{y1}{(-3)}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-5)}}}\implies \cfrac{1+3}{3+5}\implies \cfrac{4}{8}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}$

$\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-3)}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-5)}]\implies y+3=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+5) \\\\\\ y+3=\cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{5}{2}\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{5}{2}-3\implies y = \cfrac{1}{2}x-\cfrac{1}{2}$

In a coordinate plane what is the difference between (-3 1/2, 4) and (2 1/2)?

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By difference I think you mean how far away from? I don't really know what you mean by this but I will try to help.

1/2-4=-3 1/2

2-(-3 1/2)=5 1/2

5 1/2

Above is a fraction.

I hope that I helped. Sorry if it wasn't the answer you were looking for.
