The slope of a straight line is calculated as: slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = -1(y1 - y2)/-1(x1 - x2) = -1/-1 x (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) = 1 x (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) = (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2) So it doesn't matter which way round you label the points: all that matters is that whichever point's y-coordinate you subtract from the other point's y-coordinate, you also subtract its x-coordinate from the other point's x-coordinate.
Choose a number that is less than -5; for example, -10 (or, if you mean "less in absolute value", for example -2), choose two or three points for that slope, then draw the line through those points.
The equation for slope = rise / run
Points: (0, -1) and (-2, -4)Slope: 3/2
No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.

For example of the points: (4, 5) and (7, 9) Slope: (5-9)/(4-7) = (-4)/(-3) = 4/3

A.True
When computing the slope of a line, choose two points along the line and do the following: Let's say the points we choose are (1,3) & (2,5). To compute the slope we need to use the slope formula: m = (y1-y2) / (x1-x2). So, using the two points we chose, just plug them into the formula: m = (3-5) / (1-2) = -2 / -1 = 2. Therefore, our slope is 2. These particular points yield the graph, y = 2x + 1.
Slope of line: (y2 -y1)/(x2-x1)
Choose a number that is less than -5; for example, -10 (or, if you mean "less in absolute value", for example -2), choose two or three points for that slope, then draw the line through those points.

Absolutely not, because the slope of the line does not change no matter its location on the x or y axis.
The equation for slope = rise / run
The formula for calculating the slope of a staircase is: slope rise / run. This means you divide the height of the stair rise by the depth of the stair run to determine the slope of the staircase.
The slope of a line that has the points 3, (-4), and has a slope of 2 is 2.
