Who invented the slope formula?
Renee Descartes
How do you find an equation with a given slope?
Use point-slope formula
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
Who invented the formula of slope?
The French mathematician, Renee Descartes.
Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (6, 4) and (2, 3)?
Slope can be calculated with the slope formula. This formula is: m (slope) = second y point - first y point / second x point - first x point Applying this formula to this problem, you get: 3-4/2-6 = -1/-4 = 1/4 The slope of (6,4) and (2,3) is 1/4.
Who discovered or invented the slope formula?
Rene Decartes is the father of Analytical Geometry. He was a French Mathematician and theologian who is believed to have discovered the slope formula according to many experts. He was said to have provided a method to solve the problem of lines and slopes in mathematics by his prowess in Algebra and Geometry.The basic slope formula is y=mx+b while the more complex point-slope formula is y-yl=m(x-x1).
Who invented slope-intercept form?
Renee Descartes discovered the slope intercept formula: y=mx+b
Who invented slope intercept formula in math?
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes.
What is the difference between the point slope formula and the slope intercept form of a straight line?
The point-slope formula of a straight line is expressed as (y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)), where (m) is the slope and ((x_1, y_1)) is a specific point on the line. In contrast, the slope-intercept form is given by (y = mx + b), where (b) represents the y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Essentially, the point-slope form is used to write the equation of a line given a point and its slope, while the slope-intercept form is used to express the line in terms of its slope and y-intercept.
Why can you use the point-slope formula when writing an equation of a horizontal line but not with a vertical line?
A vertical line HAS NO slope! The slope is undefined in this case.
