How do you find the slope when you have a fraction?
The slope can be a fraction.
Find the slope in between the two points34 and -57?
91
Can a slope be a fraction?
yes, slope can be fraction. It's like -1, -1/3 , 4/5 , 4 and so on.
Can slope be written as a whole number instead of a fraction?
Only if it happens to BE a whole number. As you probably know, you can't "convert" a fraction to a whole number, without losing precision. But the slope may well happen to be a whole number, such as 1, 2, 3, -1, etc. (or close enough to a whole number).
Can you have an improper fraction for slope of a line?
Why not? m=4/3 is a perfectly good slope
When calculating slope which variable goes on top of the fraction?
The equation for slope = rise / run
What is the steepest line possible dealing with slope?
Steepest line possible dealing with slope is up to, but not including infinity.
What is the slope of a line in degree measure rather than a fraction?
It is simply the arctan transformation of the fraction.
Is slope possible when there are decimals?
Yes
How do you find slope using rise and run in a picture?
The slope is the rise over the run, like a fraction. Rise is the numerator, run is the denominator. That gives you a fraction. Then just divide if you want a number.
What is the slope of the line that contains the points -24 and 49 enter your answer as a fraction in lowest terms?
A line must be in 2-dimensional space to have a slope. In 2-d space, each point is identified by an ordered pair of coordinates. The points in the question are not and so it is not possible to answer the question.
What if the coordinate is fraction in finding the slope of a line?
The same rules apply but it might help if you turn the fraction into a decimal.
