Answer:
a. 1 1/2 (or 3/2)
b. 2/3
c. 1
d. 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: (1,1) (7,5)
To determine the slope, you will use the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Keep in mind that it doesn't matter what point you use for (x1, y1) or (x2, y2).
Let's plug in the numbers for part a:
m=(7-1)/(5-1)
Let's then solve the problems inside the parentheses:
m=6/4
And finally, we simplify:
m=3/2 (or 1 1/2 depending on what your teacher wants for an answer)
For these others, I will just go through the steps and not explain them, if you need help or don't understand something I'm doing, either look back at what I did for part a or comment on this answer.
Part B: (1,1) (5,7)
m=(5-1)/(7-1)
m=(4/6)
m=2/3
Part C: (2,5) (-1,2)
m=(-1-2)/(2-5)
m=(-3/-3)
m=1
Part D: (2,5) (-7,-4)
m=(-7-2)/(-4-5)
m=(-9/-9)
m=1
