thought so

ash2326 · Answer

Slope is the change of y over the change of x
$$Slope=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$$

anonymous · Answer

appreciate it, ty

parthkohli · Answer

A formal definition is $$ Slope = {\Delta y \over \Delta x}$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\large Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} = \frac{\Delta {y}}{\Delta {x}}$$
