Two coordinates define a point. You need two pairs of two coordinates to define two points and, therefore, a slope.

Is the slope always positive if the coordinates of two points on the line are positive?
No.
What is the slope of the line connecting the points 325 and 3520?
You need two coordinates, not one, to specify a point. To calculate the slope, simply calculate (difference in y-coordinates) / (difference in x-coordinates).
How can you find the slope of a line by only knowing the coordinates?
If you have the coordinates of two points, say P = (a,b) and Q = (c,d), then slope = (b-d)/(a-c) that is, the difference in the y coordinate of the two points divided by the difference in the x coordinate of the points taken in the same order.
How calculate the slope of a line?
Using any two points, calculate the differences in the Y and the X coordinates. Then take the difference between the Y and divide it by the difference in the X. Example: Points (1,3) and (4,9) are on a line. Determine the slope of the line. X coordinates: 1 and 4. 4-1 = 3 Y coordinates: 3 and 9 9-3 = 6 Slope = Y/X = 6/3 = 2 The slope is 2
Can two different intersecting lines have the same slope Why?
No because one line would be going in one direction and the other line would be going in the other direction. Which would make one slope negative and the other slope positive.
Is the slope always positive if the coordinates of two points on the line are positive?
No.
What is the slope for -23?
Two or more coordinates are needed to determine the slope of a line
What is the formula for slope in geometry?
slope = (delta y) / (delta x). That's shorthand for: slope = (difference in the y-coordinates) / (difference in the x-coordinates). For two given points with coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), the slope is (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2).
What is the slope of the line connecting the points 325 and 3520?
You need two coordinates, not one, to specify a point. To calculate the slope, simply calculate (difference in y-coordinates) / (difference in x-coordinates).
What is the slope of the line through the two coordinates -4 and 1 and 6 and 3?
Coordinates: (-4, 1) and (6, 3)Slope of line: 1/5
What is the slope for 3 4 and -1 -4?
The slope of a line passing through two points with given x y coordinates can be found by dividing the (signed) difference between the two y coordinates by the (signed) difference between the two x coordinates, being careful to take the coordinates in the same order for each subtraction. In this instance, the slope is (-4 - 4)/(-1 - 3) = -8/-4 = 2.
What is it called to have two different coordinates on a graph but have the same slope?
I believe they are parallel.
What is the slope -1 3 y-intercept 3?
Two coordinates are needed to determine the slope of a straight line equation.
What is he slope of -8 and -9?
In order to calculate the slope, you need two points, each with two coordinates. That makes four numbers in all. There are only two in the question.
What is the slope of the coordinates -3 4 4 -4?
The slope for a line between two points is (difference of y-coordinates) divided by (difference of x-coordinates). That is, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It doesn't matter in what order you take the points.
How do you calculate slope of 5-4 -21?
I am not sure what you mean; I guess some symbols disappeared when posting the question. I assume you have two given points. The idea is to calculate the slope as: slope = (difference in y-coordinates) / (difference in x-coordinates)
What is the slope of the line passing through the points (50) and (62)?
If you mean points of: (5, 0) and (6, 2) then the slope works out as 2
