Simply divide the difference in the y-coordinates, by the difference in the x-coordinates.
For two points at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), respectively, the rate of change is equal to the slope of the shortest possible line segment connecting the two points. This slope can be calculated by the following equation: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.
If you mean a topographic map, then you just divide the distance between two contour lines by the change in height between the two points
Call one point "Point 1" and the other "Point 2". (X1, Y1) are therefore the coordinates of "Point 1", and (X2, Y2) are the coordinates of "Point 2". Plug those values into this formula to get the slope of the line between those two points. m = slope (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)=m
you look at the line and see if there are any direct points on the line the slope formula
-1
11/5 = 2.2
To find the slope between two points: slope = change_in_y/change_in_x Thus for the points (4, 5) and (6, 8), the slope between them is given by: slope = (8-5)/(6-4) = 3/2 = 1½ = 1.5
If you mean the slope between (-7, -2) and (4, -2), the answer is 0 because the rise over the run is 0 over 11 which equals 0.
how to find the slope of the line between the two points (-1,2) and (3, -6). can you plaese show how
To find the slope (steepness, not height) of a line when given two points, do the following: Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1, y1) is one point, and (x2,y2) is the second point.
For two points at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), respectively, the rate of change is equal to the slope of the shortest possible line segment connecting the two points. This slope can be calculated by the following equation: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The slope is the change in distance between any two points divided by the change in time between them.
To find the slope of a line, you take two points on the line, then use their X and Y coordinates in the following formula: slope = ( Y2 -Y1 ) / ( X2 - X1) By simplifying the answer, you will get your slope.
If our two points were (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). We'd remember slope is rise over run. We'd have (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plug in your numbers, and you would have the slope of the line between these two points.
No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.
To find the slope, you must have at least two points, not one. You cannot find the slope at one point, because coordinate points do not have slopes - lines have slopes.
