Question

Please help with q 3, 4, 5 thnx!

Answer 1

Answer:

3. 7/12.

4. 7/5.

5. 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be obtained by taking the ratio of change in y-coordinate to that of x-coordinate. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Slope = Δy /Δx

Δy = y2 – y1

Δx = x2 – x1

With the above formula in mind, let us answer the questions given above.

3. Point => (–8, –2) (4, 5)

x1 = –8

x2 = 4

Δx = x2 – x1

Δx = 4 – –8

Δx = 4 + 8

Δx = 12

y1 = –2

y2 = 5

Δy = y2 – y1

Δy = 5 – – 2

Δy = 5 + 2

Δy = 7

Slope = Δy /Δx

Slope = 7/12

4. Point => (3, –5) (8, 2)

x1 = 3

x2 = 8

Δx = 8 – 3

Δx = 5

y1 = –5

y2 = 2

Δy = y2 – y1

Δy = 2 – – 5

Δy = 2 + 5

Δy = 7

Slope = Δy /Δx

Slope = 7/5

5. Point => (–4, –5) (4, 3)

x1 = –4

x2 = 4

Δx = x2 – x1

Δx = 4 – –4

Δx = 4 + 4

Δx = 8

y1 = –5

y2 = 3

Δy = y2 – y1

Δy = 3 – – 5

Δy = 3 + 5

Δy = 8

Slope = Δy /Δx

Slope = 8/8

Slope = 1
