algebra
\(\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m}=\frac{\color{blue}{{\rm y}_1}-\color{red}{{\rm y}_2}}{\color{green}{{\rm x}_1}-\color{darkgoldenrod}{{\rm x}_2}} }\) where, \( \color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m} }\) is the slope \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{green}{{\rm x}_1}~,~~\color{blue}{{\rm y}_1}) }\) and \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle (\color{darkgoldenrod}{{\rm x}_2}~,~~\color{red}{{\rm y}_2}) }\) are your two points.
plug in your points into the slope formula...
set the formula and i solve the equation please
For example, if my two points where (10, 25.5) and (12, 36.7) then I would set up the slope formula the following way; \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m}=\frac{\color{blue}{25.5}-\color{red}{36.7}}{\color{green}{10}-\color{darkgoldenrod}{12}} }\) \(\color{black}{ \displaystyle {\rm m}=\frac{-11.2}{-2}=\frac{11.2}{2}=\frac{112}{20}=\frac{28}{5}\quad or,\quad 5\frac{3}{5} }\)
(That was an example, hope that will help you find the solution to your problem)
for m right
yes! (and "m" is the "slope" - this is how it is commonly denoted)
m=5.6
(4.5, -1) (5.3, 2) m = (2-(-1)) / (5.3 - 4.5) m = (3) / (0.8) m = 30/8 .... that is what I am getting
(and that is not 5.6)
