ryan123345 · Answer

you need help with a question? The formula is $$\frac{ y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x _{2}-x _{1} }$$

parthkohli · Answer

Just think of the slope as the slant-ness of the line.

parthkohli · Answer

Then, when you're comfortable with that fact, look at the slope as the "rate of change" of $y$... or$$\dfrac{\mbox{change in y}}{\mbox{change in x}}$$

parthkohli · Answer

For example, if you have two points $(1,2)$ and $(3,4)$ and a line connecting them, then the slope is $\dfrac{\mbox{change in y}}{\mbox{change in x}}$. What is the change in $y$? Remember that you express points as $(x,y)$. $y$ has changed from $2$ to $4$... and the change is their difference, i.e., $4 - 2 = 2$. Can you do it for $x$?

parthkohli · Answer

@skullpatrol is right again! 

The change in $y$ is known as "rise" and the change in $x$ is known as "run"

parthkohli · Answer

You may also know them as "vertical change" and "horizontal change" respectively.
