Question

Jalen is computing the slope of the line on the graph below.

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 4, 0) and (2, 3).

Step 1: (–4, 0) and (2, 3)

Step 2: StartFraction negative 4 minus 2 Over 0 minus 3 EndFraction

Step 3: StartFraction negative 6 Over negative 3 EndFraction

Step 4: The slope is 2.

Which statement describes Jalen’s error?

A) Jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.
B) Jalen used the ordered pairs in the wrong order.
C) Jalen made a computational error.
D) Jalen used an ordered pair that is not on the lin

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A) Jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is found by dividing the difference of second coordinates by the difference of first coordinates. Jalen computed Δx/Δy instead of Δy/Δx.

  Jalen computed the ratio of change in x to change in y.
