REVIEW: Find the slope for the following situations. a. Given the equation y = 5x + 1 b. Given the equation 2x + y = 6 c. Given the points: (2, 3) and (5, 9)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part 1) The slope is [tex]m=5[/tex]

Part 2) The slope is [tex]m=-2[/tex]

Part 3) The slope is [tex]m=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

The equation of the line into slope intercept form is equal to

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

In this problem we have

[tex]y=5x+1[/tex]

so

the slope is [tex]m=5[/tex]

Part 2) we know that

The equation of the line in standard form is equal to

[tex]Ax+By=C[/tex]

where

the slope is equal to [tex]m=-\frac{A}{B}[/tex]

in this problem we have

[tex]2x+y=6[/tex]

so

[tex]A=2,B=1,C=6[/tex]

substitute

[tex]m=-\frac{2}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m=-2[/tex]

Part 3) we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

[tex]m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

we have

[tex]A(2,3)\ B(5,9)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]m=\frac{9-3}{5-2}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{6}{3}[/tex]

[tex]m=2[/tex]
