Find the slope of the line. (5,1) and (1,8)

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

Slope=x2-x1/y2-y1

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

Subtract the x coordinates and then the y coordinates and divide.

4/7?

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

Yup!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaay! thank you :D

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

no problem! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the only equation for slope?

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

that's the main equation when there are two points given. If you have an angle, then slope= tan(angle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about (-6,-3) and (2,-4) ?

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

You do the exact same thing. Subtract and then divide :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9/2?

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

Try again :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9/-2?

OpenStudy (potatoes.ramu):

(2-(-6))/(-4+3)
