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
Points for example: (4, 8) and (2, 4) Slope: (8-4)/(4-2) = 2 The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the 2 points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)
Points: (-1, 2) and (4, 3) Slope: 1/5
Points: (3, -4) and (-2, 1) Slope: -1 or -x
Points: (2, 3) and (2, 9)Slope: 0The line is vertical and parallel to the y axis
Points: (0, -1) and (-2, -4)Slope: 3/2
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 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
To find the slope we need to divide the difference in rise between these two points by the difference in run between them. The difference in rise equals: 3-2 = 1. The difference in run between these points equals: 2-4 = -2.Now we just divide 1/-2 and we get the slope of the line formed by these two points: -0.5
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.
Points: (-7, -2) and (4, -4) Slope: -2/11
If you mean points of (-2, 3) and (-7, -2) then the slope works out as 1
slope=(2-1)/(3-5)=-1/2
If you mean points of (6, 6) and (2, 2) then the slope works out as 1
If the points are (0, 0) and (2, 4) then the slope works out as 2
If you mean points of (3, 6) and (1, -2) then the slope is 4
The slope between the points (3, 5) and (-2, 2) is 3/5
To find the slope of a line, which is m, you can take the difference between the y-values and divide it by the different between the x-values of the two points, in this case are (34,5) and (54,2). So, your slope is equal to (2-5)/(54-34)=-3/20
