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)
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.

Hills on a map are typically represented by contour lines. These lines connect points of equal elevation and show the shape and steepness of the terrain. The closer together the contour lines are, the steeper the hill. Additionally, hills can sometimes be shown using hachure lines, which indicate the slope and direction of the hill.
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
contour lines that are close together. Steeper slopes are shown with contour lines that are closely spaced together, indicating rapid changes in elevation.
