Question

Which pair of points have a slope of -3/5?

Answer 1

Answer:

No of these answers has a slope of  $\frac{-3}{5}$ . My guess is B becasue its close to $\frac{-3}{5}$ unless the 5 is supposed to be negative

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to use the slope formula $\frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} }$

($x_{1}$,$y_{1}$), ($x_{2}$,$y_{2}$)

(4, 0), (-2, 10)   $\frac{10 - 0 }{-2 - 4 }= \frac{10}{6}$ you have to simplfy, the answer will be $\frac{5}{3}$

(10, -2), (0, 4)  $\frac{4 - -2 }{0- 10 }= \frac{6}{-10}$ you have to simplfy, the answer will be $\frac{3}{-5}$

 (4, 2), (10, 4)  $\frac{4 - 2 }{10 - 4 }= \frac{2}{6}$ you have to simplfy, the answer will be $\frac{1}{3}$

 (-4, -10),(0, -2) $\frac{{-2- -10} }{0 - -4 }= \frac{8}{4}$ you have to simplfy, the answer will be $\frac{2}{1} =2$
