Question

Slope tutorial!

Answer 1

First of all:
You gotta know two points on your graph.
Lets call these points (\[(x_{1},y_{1})\] and\[(x_{2},y_{2})\]

Answer 2

Next to find the actual slope, you have to use the formula:
\[\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{ x_{2}-x_{1} }\]

Answer 3

For example, if you were trying trying to find the slope of the two points (1,2) and (9,4)
Use the slope formula and the equation would look something like this:

\[\frac{ 4-2 }{ 9-1 }\]

Answer 4

Then you would turn up with an answer of:

\[\frac{ 2 }{ 8 }\]

Answer 5

Which can be simplified to

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 6

The slope of the graph with points (1,2) and (9,4) is:

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } or 0.25\]

Answer 8

congrats :=)

Answer 9

I never understand why you simplify the slope, when you do that, how would you find the next points?

Answer 10

what do you mean my simplify slope?

Answer 11

@Icedragon50 how would you calculate the slope using your formula in this type of problem
