Question

what is slope

Answer 1

Slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
Or rise over run

Answer 2

but how do i calculate it

Answer 3

You use the equation: \(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 4

find where it touches the x and the y axis

Answer 5

ok thx

Answer 6

plug the number in with the formula that @iGreen gave you

Answer 7

Like if they give you these points: (2, 4) and (5, 6) you plug them in that formula:

\(m = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

\(m = \dfrac{6-4}{5-1}\)

Subtract:

\(m = \dfrac{2}{4}\)

Simplify:

\(m = \dfrac{1}{2}\)

So the slope between (2, 4) and (5, 6) is 1/2.

Answer 9

the formula to calculate the slope is y2-y1/x2-x1
if the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is given the slope =-b/a
