It really depends on the particular problem, of course - for example, what is asked for. Specifically to find the slope, you can use the definition of slope as delta-y divided by delta-x. In other words, you divide the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates between two points.

How do you solve a slope?
You take the change in Y or dy and divide it by the change in X or dx. Slope equals dy/dx.
What is the complex problem that you helped solve?
A complex problem I helped solve was when my friend was arguing with a girl .
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).
How do you write the equation of a line if you know the slope and one point on the line?
Slope = change in y/ change inx Slope is denoted as m in the following equationy=mx+b (called the y-intersept form)Where b is the y intercept, and x and y are the coordinatesTo solve for b, plug in the values for m, x, and y, and solve for b in the way you normally solve an algebraic equation
What windows utilities did you use or could you have used to solve the problem in the lab?
That depends a lot on what problem you want to solve.
How do you solve a slope problem?
Use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and yes x2 is the x-value of your second x coordinate. Meanwhile y2 is the second y coordinate.
How do you make a problem in slope of an area?
The slope of an area will determine the problem that you will be able to make, whether it is an even or a steep slope.
Can someone explain how to solve this math problemThe directions say Find the slope of the line passing through the points The problem is 2 2 -1 4?
The slope of the equation 2 times 2 take away 1 times 4 would be 3. This is a math problem.
The goal of applied science is?
It is to use science for a practical job or to solve a problem.
What is an equation of the line that passes through the point 50 and is perpendicular to the line 5x 6y24 express your answer in slope-intercept form?
Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.
What is the difference between solving a problem and analyzing a problem?
When you analyze a problem you look it over which is what analyzing means. You look over the problem and then you solve it. When you solve a problem you solve it and you use certain steps and solve it but of course everyone has there ways to solve a problem but some people have ways to solve it by just analysing it. That is the difference.
What is the slope of the line that goes through the points 2 5 and 1 -3?
To solve this, use the slope formula. the slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) Therefore, m = ( -3 - 5)/ (1-2) If you solve this, you will get 8. So the slope of the line is 8.
How do you find the y intercept in slope intercept form if the slope is -2 and the equation y -2x b help me please?

How do you Convert an equation into slope-intercept form?
Solve it for 'y' .
What problem did the the trampoline solve?
It didn't solve any problem it was invented as a sport not as a way to solve anything...
What is the slope of 0 0 and 0 -5?
Assuming that you mean that those are the (x,y) points, then solve this by using the formula for calculating slope. Chance in y / chance in x = slope so, (-5 - 0) / 0 - 0 Already you can see the problem. The denominator will equal 0, which means that it does not exist. The slope of that line does not exist, nor does the slope for any vertical line. On a completely separate note though, the slope of a horizontal line is 0.
How do you solve a slope?
You take the change in Y or dy and divide it by the change in X or dx. Slope equals dy/dx.
