Alen is computing the slope of the line on the graph below. step 1: (–4, 0) and (2, 3) step 2: step 3: step 4: the slope is 2. which statement describes jalen’s error? jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y. jalen used the ordered pairs in the wrong order. jalen made a computational error. jalen used an ordered pair that is not on the line. mark this and return

The 1st Statement describes the Jalen's error .i.e., he computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points of line are ( -4 , 0 ) and ( 2, 3 )

To find : Slope

Formula to calculate Slope =

So, Slope of given line =

                                      =

                                      =

                                      =

But value of Slope that Jalen compute is 2 which is incorrect.

Actual value of slope of line is reciprocal of Jalen's value of slope.

This means he computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.

Therefore, the 1st Statement describes the Jalen's error.

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
