Question

What is the slope of the line for BOTH graphs? Are the slopes the same or different?

Answer 1

Answer:

both are -10

Step-by-step explanation:

#1

x1 y1  x2 y2

1.5 180  6 135

(Y2-Y1) (135)-(180)=   -45  ΔY -45

(X2-X1) (6)-(1.5)=    4.5  ΔX 4.5

slope= -10          

B= 195          

Y =-10X +195

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~    

#2

x1 y1  x2 y2

1 175  8 105

   

(Y2-Y1) (105)-(175)=   -70  ΔY -70

(X2-X1) (8)-(1)=    7  ΔX 7

slope= -10          

B= 185          

Y =-10X +185
