Question

How do you find the slope again?

Answer 1

M=y2-y1/ x2-x1

Answer 2

\(\sf\Large Slope = \frac{\color{blue}{y_2}-\color{red}{y_1}}{\color{green}{x_2}-\color{purple}{x_1}}\)

Where the two points are in the form:

\(\sf\Large (\color{purple}{x_1},\color{red}{y_1}\color{black}{)~and~(}\color{green}{x_2},\color{blue}{y_2})\)

Answer 3

HOLD ON

Answer 4

And in your question it is in the form of y intercept which y=mx+ b where m is the slop

Answer 5

Your equation is in the form y = mx + b

where m is the sope
and b is the y-intercept

Okay, but how does \[y = 2x - 7\] fit in?

Answer 7

Y= mx +b
Y= 2x-7

Answer 8

2 is in place of m so that is the slope

Answer 9

Ohhhh! So any other question I just use that formula and where M would be, that is gonna be the slope, right, @TheSmartOne and @Huneyap?

Answer 10

yup! :D

Answer 11

Yes

Answer 12

Thank you! :}

Answer 13

also if the equation is in the form of \(\sf\Large y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)\)

then whatever is in the place of m is the slope :)

Answer 14

Ur welcome

Answer 15

Thank you, @TheSmartOne. :)

Answer 16

Anytime! :)
