Question

can someone help my understand (slope)

Answer 1

slope is simply a measure of how far something is leaning from an upright position

Answer 2

we can measure it on a graph by the ration of how far the y coordinate changes with respect to a change in the x coordinate

Answer 3

to find the slope of a line that connects 2 points; just subtract one point from the other and stack y over x like a fraction

Answer 4

i understand the concept

Answer 5

.... good :) then what do you need help on?

Answer 6

im trying to explain but my english is not that great

Answer 7

do your best, and well see what happens

Answer 8

how does the formule work that you use counting out the slope

Answer 9

the formule for finding out slope works because it measures the change in y values as a ratio to the change in x values.

m = \(\cfrac{(y_0-y_1)}{(x_0-x_1)}\)

Answer 10

given 2 points say: (3,4) and (-2,7), we can determine the slope by measureing the change in y values with respect to the change in x values:

m = \(\cfrac{7-4}{-2-3}=\cfrac{3}{-5}\implies-\cfrac{3}{5}\)

Answer 11

the ratio of y/x is simply by convention. But the important thing is to realize that the measure of how far something leans is determined the distance and direction moved with with respect to a fixed point of reference

Answer 12

im trying to understand

Answer 13

this is my fist time on this site, but when are avalible for questions

Answer 14

provide an example of a type of problem you would like to solve; its better with references :)

Answer 15

the website is up and running all the time ... except for when they have to do maintenance .... most of the time there are people who can help
