Question

Find the slope of the line
5,1
4,5

Answer 1

Alright, the first step is identifying y1, y2, x1, and x2. Do you know which is which? Also, do you know the equation for finding slope?

Answer 2

yes x=5 y=1
then 4=z y=5

i dont not know the equation for finding slope

Answer 3

the actual equation to start with is y=mx+b

Answer 4

\[m=\frac{ y1-y2 }{ x1-x2 }\]

Answer 5

ok good to know

Answer 6

(5,1), (1,4)
slope of the line is=(4-1)/(1-5)
or slope=3/-4

Answer 7

if you have \[(x _{1},y _{1}) and (x _{2},y _{2})\]
and you are finding the slope,
\[m=\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }\]
where m is the slope....

Answer 8

oh ok thank

Answer 9

m is slope of the line, remember the slope equation, you'll use is a lot in the future. :)

If you need the equation of the line, just plug your slope (m) and your y1 and x1 coords into the following equation and solve for y:
y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 10

ok thanks @melbel
