The slope for a line between two points is (difference of y-coordinates) divided by (difference of x-coordinates). That is, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It doesn't matter in what order you take the points.
Yes. Calculate the ratio of the difference in y-coordinates and the difference in x-coordinates between pairs of points. If the ratio is the same, the points are collinear. If not, they are not. The only exception is if all the x-coordinates are he same and the ratio is not defined. In this case the points are also collinear - all on a vertical line.
Rise is the difference between two points along the vertical Y axis. Run is the difference along the X axis. So, for the points (1,3) and (4,8), run is 3 and rise is 5.
Points: (-1, 2) and (3, 3) Slope: 1/4
The distance between the points can be calculated by using the difference in the x coordinates, the difference in the y coordinates and Pythagoras. distance = sqrt((difference_in_x_coords)2 + difference_in_y_coords)2) So for the points (-1, 1) and (1, -1) the distance between them is: sqrt((-1 - 1)2 + (1 - -1)2) =sqrt(22 + 22) =sqrt(4 + 4) = sqrt(8) ~= 2.83
The distance between two points is Square root of [ (difference in their 'x' coordinates)2 + (difference in their 'y' coordinates)2 ]
The distance between any two points on a number line is the absolute value of the difference of the coordinates.
In 2-dimensional space, it is the difference between their y-coordinates, in 3-dimensional space, it is the difference between their z-coordinates.
It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
It is simply the difference between their y coordinates.
Simply divide the difference in the y-coordinates, by the difference in the x-coordinates.
The slope for a line between two points is (difference of y-coordinates) divided by (difference of x-coordinates). That is, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). It doesn't matter in what order you take the points.
Calculate the difference of the y-coordinates, and divide it by the difference of the x-coordinates. That is the slope.
Yes. Calculate the ratio of the difference in y-coordinates and the difference in x-coordinates between pairs of points. If the ratio is the same, the points are collinear. If not, they are not. The only exception is if all the x-coordinates are he same and the ratio is not defined. In this case the points are also collinear - all on a vertical line.
The rise, or vertical difference, between two points on the coordinate plane is the difference i their y-coordinates.
The difference in the y coordinates would be your vertical separation.
The distance between two points on a line is the absolute value of the difference between their coordinates. This can be calculated using the distance formula: |x2 - x1|, where x1 and x2 are the coordinates of the two points.
