Question

What is the slope of the line through the points (0,-3) and (2,1)?

Answer 1

Answer:

alright so you got 2 points! now this is the slope formula! y2-y1/x2-x1

okay let's label your points! (x1 0,y1 -3) (x2 2,y2 1)

let's follow the formula this makes it so we can solve! 1--3/2-0

I understand you may get a decimal but don't use 2.5 use a fraction because teachers seem to like fractions and general decimals can be hard to use (experience lol) 2.5 is 5/2 so this means your slope is 5/2

this formula works every single time and if you memorize it you can do any other problems with 2 points! please memorize y2-y1/x2-x1
