Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (2, -1). a.) one half b). negative one half c). -2 d).2
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:d).2 Step-by-step explanation:Use the following equation: slope (m) = (yβ - yβ)/(xβ - xβ)Let: (xβ , yβ) = (1 , -3)(xβ , yβ) = (2 , -1)Plug in the corresponding numbers to the corresponding variables: m = (-1 - (-3))/(2 - 1)Simplify. Combine like terms. Remember to follow PEMDAS. Remember that two negatives = one positive: m = (-1 + 3)/(2 - 1)m = (2)/(1)m = 2d).2 is your slope.~
