Don't write "the following" if you don't provide a list.
The slope is calculated as: y1-y2/x1-x2 given two sets of points
For two points at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), respectively, the rate of change is equal to the slope of the shortest possible line segment connecting the two points. This slope can be calculated by the following equation: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.
it is called the slope
The rise is the difference between the ordinates (vertical values) of two points on a line whereas the run is the difference between their abscissae (horizontal values) of the same two points.

The distance between two points must be known to determine the average slope between the two points. You must also know the change in elevation.
For two points at (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), respectively, the rate of change is equal to the slope of the shortest possible line segment connecting the two points. This slope can be calculated by the following equation: m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Two points don't have a slope. But the line between them does. The line between the points (-5, 3) and (3, 3) has a slope of zero.
If our two points were (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). We'd remember slope is rise over run. We'd have (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plug in your numbers, and you would have the slope of the line between these two points.
The average slope is the ratio of the change between two points
0). Considering any TWO points, you can calculate the slope of the line between them like this: Slope = (difference between the y-values of the two points) divided by (difference between the x-values of the two points). Use this technique to examine your THREE points, like this: 1). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-2 and Point-1. 2). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-3 and Point-1. 3). If the two slopes are equal, then the three points all lie on the same line.
To find the slope between two points: slope = change_in_y/change_in_x Thus for the points (4, 5) and (6, 8), the slope between them is given by: slope = (8-5)/(6-4) = 3/2 = 1½ = 1.5
The constant rate of change between two points on a line is called slope.
You can follow the following steps. * First, you determine the slope between the two points. Just calculate delta-y / delta-x (that is, difference in y-coordinates, divided by the difference in x-coordinates, between the two points). * Next, you use the point-slope formula, to get an equation for the line. You can use any of the two points for this; each of the points will give you an equation that looks different, but the two equations are equivalent, if you do everything correctly. * Finally, solve the resulting equation for "y"; that will give you the equation in slope-intercept form.
To find the slope (steepness, not height) of a line when given two points, do the following: Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1, y1) is one point, and (x2,y2) is the second point.
