Respuesta :
1. slope= 2
2. slope=2
3. slope= 1/3
4. slope indefinite, vertical line
Explanation
Step 1
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\text{ 2x-3} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]the equation is given in slope(m) - intercept(b)
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\text{ mx+b} \\ \text{then} \\ mx+b=2x-3 \\ m=2 \\ \text{slope}=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2
when you have two points of a line, P1 and P2 the slope is given by:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{where} \\ P1(x_1,y_1)andP2(x_2,y_2) \end{gathered}[/tex]Let
P1(-2,-4) P2(-1,-2)
replace
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{slope}=\frac{-2-(-4)}{-1-(-2)} \\ \text{slope}=\frac{-2+4}{-1+2}=\frac{2}{1}=2 \\ \text{slope}=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 3
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x-4[/tex]similar to the #1. ,the equation is given in slope(m) - intercept(b)
[tex]\text{the slope = }\frac{1}{3}[/tex]Step 4
let
[tex]P1(4,0)\text{ and P2(4,1)}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{slope}=\frac{1-0}{4-4}=\frac{1}{0}=\text{indefined} \\ it\text{ means the line is vertical} \end{gathered}[/tex]
