Question

11. Which set of points could you use to create a line with slope of -3/2? (A) (5,7) (7,4) (B) (-1,4) (1,7) (C) (3,2) (1,-3)(D) (-3,0) (0,-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) (5,7) (7,4)

Explanation:

To determine the set of points that could be used to create a line with a slope of -3/2, we use the slope formula below.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}}$

Option A

$\begin{gathered} \text{Slope}=\frac{7-4}{5-7} \\ =-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the set of points is (5,7) and (7,4).
