y = -2 and x= 3
Graph is attached below. Black line is the graph of y=-2
Blue line is the graph of x=3
Whenever we get equation like x = something, in that case slope is always undefined
Whenever we get equation like y = something, in that case slope is always 0
y = -2 and x= 3
For x=3, the slope is undefined.
The graph of x=3 is a vertical line at 3 on x. The x intercept is 3 and there is no y intercept.
For y=-2, the slope is 0
The graph of y=-2 is a horizontal line at -2 on y. The y intercept is -2 and there is no x intercept.
Here we want to find the equation of the line containing the median CP.
P, being the midpoint of AB can be found using the midpoint formula as:
.
The slope m of the line through CP can be found by the slope formula using points C(18, -8) and P(0, 1):
.
Now, we can write the equation of the line with slope -1/2, passing through
P(0, 1):
.
Answer:
Answer:
Ok! When given points, to find the slope, you would use this equation: y2-y1/x2-x1. Let me demonstrate. In this set to find the slope with the coordinates (10,8) and (14,20), the y2 value is 20, and the y1 value is 8, and the x2 value is 14, and the y1 value is 10. So, your equation would look like this: (20-8)/(14-10), which simplifies to 12/4, or 3! So the slope is three, and that's how you do that when using an equation. OR, you could graph them, but that isn't too reliable so I do not recommend trying it, since you may not create the right slope.
