Terri wrote the equation using slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (4, 6) and (–2, 3).

Step 1: m = StartFraction 4 minus (negative 2) Over 6 minus 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 3 EndFraction = 2
Step 2: 3 = 2 (negative 2) + b
Step 3: 3 = negative 4 + b. 7 = b.
Step 4: y = 2 x + 7

Which best describes Terri’s first error?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The found the slope incorrectly

The found x over y instead of y over x

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (6-3)/(4 --2)

   = 3/6

  =1/2

The found the slope incorrectly

The found x over y instead of y over x

Answer:

First step

Step 1: m = StartFraction 4 minus (negative 2) Over 6 minus 3 EndFraction = StartFraction 6 Over 3 EndFraction = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

He has used:

(x2 - x1)/(y2 - y1)
