can someone explain to me how you figure out the slope of a graph?

Question

anonymous · Answer

IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

standard formula
$$Ax+By=C$$

point-slope formula
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

$$y=mx+b$$

im still confused

anonymous · Answer

what are you trying to determine the slope from?

anonymous · Answer

Equations, Graphs, Slopes, and y-Intercepts

anonymous · Answer

ok from an equation, 
just assuming for a linear equation, just read through the stuff above

generally you want to convert the given equation into slope intercept form to determine the slope

graphs
basically you just count
rise over run|dw:1359643260380:dw|

find 2 points that you can actually recognize, in this case (0,0) and (2,5)
first count the rise, up 5
then the run, which over 2

up is positive, down is negative, right is positive, left is negative

so the slope would be 5/2


slopes
er wouldnt it be given then

y-intercept
is just a point and you can not determine slope from it

ok thank you
