1) The correct option is C. (2) The correct option is D. (3) The correct option is B. (4) The correct option is D. (5) The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(1)

Two points are (-2,5) and (1,4).

$m=\frac{4-5}{1-(-2)}=\frac{-1}{3}tex]Therefore option C is correct.(2)Use the above mentioned formula for each pair of coordinates.[tex]m=\frac{10-13}{17-12}=\frac{-3}{5}$

$m=\frac{10-15}{13-16}=\frac{-5}{-3}=\frac{5}{3}$

$m=\frac{10-7}{3-0}=\frac{3}{3}=1$

$m=\frac{18-13}{8-11}=\frac{5}{-3}=\frac{-5}{3}$

Therefore option D is correct.

(3)

The pair of points (6, y) and (10, -1). The slope is $\frac{1}{4}$ .

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-1-y}{10-6}$

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-1-y}{4}$

1=-1-y

y=-2

Therefore option B is correct.

(4)

For vertical line the x coordinates always remains the same. Therefore when we subtract the same number we get zero in the denominator, therefore the value of slope is undefined for a vertical line.

Therefore option D is correct.

(5)

Two points from the table are (2,110) and (3,165).

$m=\frac{165-110}{3-2}=\frac{55}{1}$

Therefore option D is correct.

Answer from: kimberlyvazquez1121

For 1: The correct option is C.

For 2: The correct option is D.

For 3: The correct option is B.

For 4: the correct option is D.

For 5: The correct option is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1:

To calculate the slope of a line formed by two points, we use the formula:

$Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ ....(1)

Points given are (-2,5) and (1,4)

$Slope=\frac[4-5}{1-(-2)}=\frac{-1}{3}$

Hence, the correct option is C.

For 2:

Using equation 1, we calculate the slopes for every options, we get:

Option A: Points are (12,13) and (17,10)

$Slope=\frac{10-13}{17-12}=\frac{-3}{5}$

Option B: Points are (16,15) and (13,10)

$Slope=\frac{10-15}{13-16}=\frac{-5}{-3}=\frac{5}{3}$

Option C: Points are (0,7) and (3,10)

$Slope=\frac{10-7}{3-0}=\frac{3}{3}=1$

Option D: Points are (11,13) and (8,18)

$Slope=\frac{18-13}{8-11}=\frac{5}{-3}=\frac{-5}{3}$

Hence, the correct option is D.

For 3:

We are given two points (6,y) and (10,-1) and the slope of the line is $\frac{1}{4}$

Using equation 1, we get

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{-1-y}{10-6}$

$\frac{-1-y}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$

$-1-y=1\\y=-2$

Hence, the correct option is B.

For 4:

The slope of any line is $\tan\theta$ , where $\theta$ is the angle made by the line with the positive x-axis in counter-clockwise direction.

So, the vertical line will form 90° with x-axis and hence, $\theta =90^o$

As, $\tan90^o=\infty$

Hence, the correct option is D.

For 5:

The given data is forming a linear relation. So, the slope will be same throughout its entire length.

The points taken for the calculation of slope are (2,110) and (3,165)

$Slope=\frac{165-110}{3-2}=\frac{55}{1}$

Hence, the correct option is D.
