Question

Solve the math problem

Answer 1

Answer:

2) a.   slope = 4/3

2) b.   slope = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line that passes through points

$(x_1, y_1)$  and  $(x_2, y_2)$

is m, given by the slope formula below:

$m = \dfrac{y_1 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}$

2) a. (30, 32) and (18, 16)

$m = \dfrac{y_1 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{32 - 16}{30 - 18}$

$m = \dfrac{16}{12}$

$m = \dfrac{4}{3}$

2) b. (4, -26) and (10, -50)

$m = \dfrac{y_1 - y_2}{x_2 - x_1}$

$m = \dfrac{-50 - (-26)}{10 - 4}$

$m = \dfrac{-24}{6}$

$m = -4$
