Determine slope using the ordered pairs 1.5,50 and 3,100
Answer : 50/1.5?
I would simplify that ...
50/1.5
= 100/3
Normally we don't mix decimals with fractions, use either one or the other.
your answer technically is correct
And then do I plug that into the equation y-y1=m(x-x1)
yes, I would get
y - 100 = (100/3)(x - 3)
times 3
3y - 300 = 100x - 300
100x - 3y = 0 or y = (100/3)x
Thank you that's what I got too
good job !
To determine the slope using the given ordered pairs (1.5, 50) and (3, 100), we can use the slope formula, which is expressed as:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
In this case, (x1, y1) = (1.5, 50) and (x2, y2) = (3, 100). Therefore, we can substitute these values into the slope formula:
slope = (100 - 50) / (3 - 1.5)
Simplifying the numerator and denominator:
slope = 50 / 1.5
Hence, the slope is 50 / 1.5, which is approximately equal to 33.3333.
