Abigail and Spencer calculate the slope of the line between the points (3,-1) and (5,4) in different ways. Abigail calculates th
e slope by dividing -1 - 4 with 3 - 5. Spencer divides 4 - (-1) by 5 - 3. When they check their work with their mutual friend Lauren, she says that they are both wrong and shows them her work. She calculates -1 - 4 and divides by 5 - 3. Who is correct among these three friends? Who is incorrect? Why? there is more than one answer!
So using standard form you convert the equation to 5x - 2y = -10 then use slope m of a line of the form Ax + By = C equals negative a over b. It would be a = 5 b = -2 m = -5/-2 m = 5/2. Have a good day the answer is 5/2
