Topic: Slopes of Lines Section: 3-3 Concept
A. Find the slope of the line. Find the Slope of a Line A. Find the slope of the line. Substitute (–3, 7) for (x1, y1) and (–1, –1) for (x2, y2). Example 1
B. Find the slope of the line. Find the Slope of a Line B. Find the slope of the line. Substitute (0, 4) for (x1, y1) and (0, –3) for (x2, y2). Slope formula Substitution Simplify. Answer: The slope is undefined. Example 1
C. Find the slope of the line. Find the Slope of a Line C. Find the slope of the line. Substitute (–2, –5) for (x1, y1) and (6, 2) for (x2, y2). Slope formula Substitution Simplify. Answer: Example 1
D. Find the slope of the line. Find the Slope of a Line D. Find the slope of the line. Substitute (–2, –1) for (x1, y1) and (6, –1) for (x2, y2). Slope formula Substitution Simplify. Answer: 0 Example 1
