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).
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 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
