If: (x-5)/(3--6) = 1/3

Then: (x-5)/9 = 1/3

Multiply both sides by 9: x-5 = 3 => x = 3+5

Therefore: x = 8

What is the value of y in the line joining 3 y to -6 5 which has a slope of 1 over 3?

Slope = (y-5)/(3--6) = 1/3 y-5 = 1/3*9 y = 3+5 y = 8


What is the slope of a line that passes through a and b?

The slope is[ (y-value of 'b') - (y-value of 'a') ] / [ (x-value of 'b') - (x-value of 'a') ]


How do you find third point of line out of 2 points?

To find a third point on a line defined by two points, you can use the formula for the line's slope. First, calculate the slope (m) using the two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) with the formula ( m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) ). Then, using the slope, you can find a third point by choosing a value for x (or y) and using the line equation ( y - y1 = m(x - x1) ) to solve for the corresponding y (or x) value. This will give you a third point that lies on the same line.

How do you get a slope?

Your Y value divided by your X value.


What is the slope of -4x2?

The slope changes as the value of x changes. For any point x, the slope is -8x.


How would you describe the slope of a graph showing slow speed?

Im guessing that this is a distance over time graph. if so, the gradient of the line of best fit would have a low value. (not be very steep)


What is an negative slope?

A negative slope is a slope occurs whenever an increase in the x value of the equation of a line causes the y value to decrease. If you're looking at the graph, the line with slope downwards from left to right.


Is a negative slope steeper than a posotive slope?

In general, the steepness of a slope is determined by its absolute value, not the sign. A negative slope indicates a downward trend, while a positive slope indicates an upward trend. If both slopes have the same absolute value, they are equally steep, but a negative slope will visually appear to descend, while a positive slope will ascend. Thus, a steeper slope can be negative or positive, depending on its absolute value.


What can you determine about the steepness of a line in terms of its slope?

Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.


Is slope the same as initial value?

No, slope and initial value are not the same. The slope refers to the steepness or incline of a line on a graph, whereas the initial value represents the y-coordinate of the point where the line intersects the y-axis.


What does an positive slope look like?

a positive slope is a slope which increases in value "y" as well as its value for "x" i.e. (0,0)(2,2) would be listed as positive because the values increase olong the slope of the line
