Calculate slope as slope=(y2-y1)/(t2-t1).
If an x-t graph is a position-time graph, velocity is the slope of the line on the graph.
If you graph distance vs. time, the slope of the line will be the average speed.
Points: (x, y) and (x, y) Slope: y1-y2/x1-x2
You can use the formula: y=mx+b (berdill)
Calculate slope as slope=(y2-y1)/(t2-t1).
From a velocity-time graph, you can calculate the acceleration by finding the slope of the graph at a certain point. The area under the graph represents the displacement of the object. You can also determine the direction of motion based on the slope of the graph (positive slope indicates motion in one direction, negative slope indicates motion in the opposite direction).
Speed (in the radial direction) = slope of the graph.

That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
Using limits and the basic gradient formula: rise/run.
You can use the formula: y=mx+b (berdill)
To find resistance from a graph of voltage vs. current, you can calculate the slope of the graph. Resistance is equal to the slope, so you can divide the voltage by the current to determine the resistance. The unit of resistance is ohms (Ω).
To determine the speed of an object from a graph, you can calculate the average speed by finding the slope of the line connecting two points on the graph. The steeper the slope, the higher the speed. Alternatively, you can also find the instantaneous speed by looking at the slope of the tangent line at a specific point on the graph.
To calculate opportunity cost from a graph, you can determine the slope of the graph, which represents the trade-off between two choices. The opportunity cost is the value of the next best alternative that is forgone when a decision is made. By analyzing the slope of the graph, you can identify the opportunity cost of choosing one option over another.
