PLEASE HELP!!! WORTH 20 POINTS! For each pair of points, find the slope of the line that passes through both points. If you get stuck, try plotting the points on graph paper and drawing the line through them with a ruler. Use fractions, not decimals, and make sure to simplify all fractions.

a. 1 1/2 (or 3/2)

b. 2/3

c. 1

d. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: (1,1) (7,5)

To determine the slope, you will use the equation m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Keep in mind that it doesn't matter what point you use for (x1, y1) or (x2, y2).

Let's plug in the numbers for part a:

m=(7-1)/(5-1)

Let's then solve the problems inside the parentheses:

m=6/4

And finally, we simplify:

m=3/2 (or 1 1/2 depending on what your teacher wants for an answer)

For these others, I will just go through the steps and not explain them, if you need help or don't understand something I'm doing, either look back at what I did for part a or comment on this answer.

Part B: (1,1) (5,7)

m=(5-1)/(7-1)

m=(4/6)

m=2/3

Part C: (2,5) (-1,2)

m=(-1-2)/(2-5)

m=(-3/-3)

m=1

Part D: (2,5) (-7,-4)

m=(-7-2)/(-4-5)

m=(-9/-9)

m=1
