Question

What is the slope of the segment with endpoints at (300,-2) and (500, 6)?

A) 25
B) 50
C) -25
D) -50

Answer 1

The slope of the segment with endpoints at (300, -2) and (500, 6) is 0.04.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope of a line given two points, you can use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). In this case, the coordinates of the first point are (300, -2) and the coordinates of the second point are (500, 6). Plugging these values into the formula, we get: slope = (6 - (-2)) / (500 - 300) = 8 / 200 = 0.04.

Therefore, the slope of the segment with endpoints at (300, -2) and (500, 6) is 0.04. Since none of the answer choices correspond to this value, the correct answer is not given as an option.
