Answer:

Slope is the ratio of the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. The vertical change between two points is called the rise, and the horizontal change is called the run. The slope equals the rise divided by the run.

The average rate of change is constant for a linear function.
Another way to state this is that the average rate of change remains the same for the entire domain of a linear function.
If the linear function is
y
=
7
x
+
12
then the average rate of change is 7 over any interval selected.
Slope intercept form
y
=
m
x
+
b
, where
m
is the slope.

What does absolute value do?

Answer:

It changes negative numbers to positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is the measure of a numbers distance from 0. You can't have negative distance, so absolute value of negative numbers is positive and absolute value of positive numbers is always positive. The absolute values of 5 and -5 are both 5 because they are both 5 units away from 0 on a number line, just in opposite directions.

What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-1, 2) and (3, 3)?

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line can be found if given two points by using the formula $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ where $(x_1,y_1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line.
