i NEED HELP 0N MATH H0MEW0RK! PLZ HELP?

Firstly, before finding the slope, you have to know what the x and y coordinates are in a given point.

In (0,4), 0 is the x-coordinate because that is where the point is on the x-axis. 4 is the y-coordinate because that is where the point is on the y-axis.

Now, to find the slope of a line, you want to use this formula if you are given to points on the line-for example (-2,0), (0,4)

y2-y1

______

x2-x1

That means you take the y-coordinate of the second given point, which is 4, and subtract it from the y-coordinate of the first given point, which is 0.

Then you take the x-coordinate of the second given point- in this case 0, and subtract it from the x-coordinate of the first given point- in this case -2.

so now we have

4-0

____ = 4/2 = 2

0--2

Thus, the slope for the first problem is 2.

So, for the total list of answers, its

2.

---something---

-2

-4/3

2

For this one, the answer is undefined because your slope formula gives you 4/0, which makes the slope undefined. If your y-axis coordinate was 0, the slope would be zero. For example, if you had 0/4 from your slope formula, it would be zero slope.

So, your answer is UNDEFINED

-5/7

1

-5/3

I hope this helped :)

here is a video on youtube im sure it will help as it is easier explained then if i used words here.

good luck :)
