Answer:
poop
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a) negative
b) -7/6
Step-by-step explanation:
The x value increased, but the y value decreased so the line goes down and has a negative slope
(y₁-y₂)/(x₁-x₂) is the slope where (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are points on the line
(4-(-3))/(-1-5)=7/-6
In general, you're calculating the magnitude of average velocity. In fact, speed is a vector, and as such it also has a direction and orientation.
So, if you compute the average speed, you're assuming that you went directly from point A to point B, which is basically never the case.
If, instead, you actually moved on a straight line from point A to point B, then the two quantities are the same.
A rectangle or a parallelogram is a polygon with only 2 congruent sides and 2 congruent angles.
