Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points. (5, 8) & (-3, 7?
To find the slope of the line passing through two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). In this case, the points are (5, 8) and (-3, 7). Plugging the values into the formula, we get slope = (7 - 8) / (-3 - 5) = -1 / -8 = 1/8. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the points (5, 8) and (-3, 7) is 1/8.

How do you Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points 1-7 and 10-1?
No
Does a line with the slope one always pass through the origin?
Not always. For example, try to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (3, 4) and (2, 3).
Find the slope of the line that passes through these points -1 -1 and 0 0?
Slope, m, equals (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Slope is (0-(-1))/(0-(-1)) or 1/1 or 1.
What if there is no slope stated in the math question?
Answer: When there is no slope stated in the function of x, when y=mx+b It simply means y=0x+b Since "b" is the y intercept, your line would be a horizontal line parallel to the X-axis passing through point (0,b) Answer: In other cases, you may need to calculate the slope first, from some other information provided. For example, if you are asked to find the equation that passes through two specified points, you can first find the slope between those two points. Then you can use this slope, and one of the points, with the slope-intercept form of the equation.
What is the equation of a line that passes through the points 2 5 and 4 3?
Points: (2, 5) and (4, 3) Slope: -1 Equation: y = -x+7 in slope-intercept form --- If you want to write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line passing through the given points, then use the two points to find the slope of the line. After that, use the slope and one of the points to find the y-intercept. For instance, m = (5 - 3)/(2 - 4) = 2/-2 = -1(the slope) y = mx + b (replace m with -1, and (x, y) with (4, 3)) 3 = -1(4) + b 3 = -4 + b (add 4 to both sides) 7 = b Thus, y = -x + 7 is the equation of the line passing through (2, 5) and (4, 3).
