Consider the points

Question

Consider the points 
A(3,−3), B(−2,1), C(6,0), and D(1,4). Point A is joined to point B to create segment AB and point C is joined to point D to create segment CD.

Part A
1. What is the slope of AB?
2. What is the slope of CD?

Part B
Segments AB and CD are translated 2 units to the left to get segments A′B′ and C′D′.
1. What is the slope of A′B′?
2. What is the slope of C′D′?

Part C
1. Are the slopes the same? Explain your reasoning.

please help.

my answer is part A 1. 4/5 2. 4/5 Part B 1. 4/5 2. 4/5 Part C The slopes r the same. Am I right?

Finding a slope is difference in y over difference in x. So, just find the slopes of AB and CD. Slopes remain the same after translations, so think about why that is to answer Parts B and C. When you've finished, send your answers so someone else or I could check over.
