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
What is the slope of the line that contains the points (-12) and (43)?
You need two numbers to specify each point.To actually calculate the slope, divide (difference in y-coordinates) by (difference in x-coordinates).If you mean: (-1, 2) and (4, 3) then it is 1/5
