The slope of a line can be found by choosing any two points of that single line, not of multiple lines.
To find the slope of a line passing through a given pair of points is found by using the point slope formula. Y(2)-Y(1) over x(2) -x(1).
you do y2-y1 over x2-x1
There is not enough information to answer this question. As currently written, a geometric point with only one variable is operating only on the x-axis (one dimensional). Asking the slope between two points that only exist on the x-axis is automatically zero. Slope is normally calculated using points on a two-dimesional grid with each point being represented by (x,y). To calculate the slope in this case you take the change in y divided by the change in x. Example: Find the slope of the line through the points (-13,4) and (17,14). Slope = Change in Y/Change in X = (-13-17)/(4-14) = -30/-10 = 3
No, they are not the only geometric objects.
When you graph a line using only the slope and a point, you start by graphing the point.
To find the slope of a line passing through a given pair of points is found by using the point slope formula. Y(2)-Y(1) over x(2) -x(1).
Points: )1, 1) and (3, 3) Slope: 1
it is the same as the slope, which can be found either graphically (rise over run) or algebraically using the formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
contour lines that are very close together
If the topographic lines are closer together it means that it has a steeper slope grade, if they are farther apart, it means that they have a more relaxed slope grade. There is usually a scale on the map that can tell you in exact measurements of the slope.
In the case that you are using Slope-Intercept Form, no, you only plot two points: the y-intercept and one other point. If you don't use Slope-Intercept Form, then you have to use three points.
Your x and y intercepts give you two points on the line of the graph. Use these two points in the slope equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), and that gives you the slope.
15 lines.
If the points are (1,5) and (0,0) y = 5x
The slope of the line passing through the points (-4, -6) and (-3, -1) can be calculated using the formula: slope = (change in y)/(change in x). Substituting the given coordinates, we find that the slope is 5/1, or simply 5.
From the given points the slope of the line works out as 3/4
m, the slope, is calculated using the following formula. m=y2-y1 ------- x2-x1 where y are the 2 vertical points, and x are the horizontal points. In other words, rise over run.
