how do you find slope with these points (1,5) and (8, - -7)
You need a equation to put these points in to solve for the slope. Do you know what that could be?

Well then do you know how to put those points on your graph and see if they have a slope?

here's the problems
What grade is you in?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @xxDeppressionxx What grade is you in? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) 8
shes in 7th or 8thh im guessing

Ok so your learning about slope right?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @xxDeppressionxx Ok so your learning about slope right? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) yes
Ok here you go–The slope will be the same for a straight line no matter which two points you pick as you know. All you need to do is to calculate the difference in the y coordinates of the 2 points and divide that by the difference of the x coordinates of the points(rise over run). That will give you the slope. Site source is (Google)
Do you have any question answer choices?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @xxDeppressionxx Do you have any question answer choices? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) no I don't it's supposed to be a fraction
The slope would be what?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @xxDeppressionxx The slope would be what? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) I don't get it
@xxDeppressionxx @TETSXPREME help someone
Replace all occurrences of ,−, -, −, - with a single +, +. Two consecutive minus signs have the same mathematical meaning as a single plus sign because −1⋅−1=1-1⋅-1=1(8,7),(1,5)(8,7),(1,5)Slope is equal to the change in y y over the change in x x, or rise over run.m= change in y change in x m= change in y change in x The change in x x is equal to the difference in x-coordinates (also called run), and the change in y y is equal to the difference in y-coordinates (also called rise).m=y2−y1x2−x1m=y2-y1x2-x1 Substitute in the values of x x and y y into the equation to find the slope. m=5−(7)1−(8)m=5-(7)1-(8)Simplify.
