to find the slope of the line passing through the points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) you must do: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) for the points (3,5) and (4,6): (6-5) / (4-3). you only need two points.

What is a slope of a graph?

Did you mean the slope of a line/parabola/etc.? A slope, in its simplest terms, is how much a line angles away from the horizontal. It describes the steepness, sense, and incline of a line.Finding the slope of a line requires two distinct point ON a line. It's given by the equation: a = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where a is the slope, (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the first point, and (x2,y2) the coordinates of the second point. An equation for a straight line is usually represented as y = a*x + b; you could extract the slope by simply looking at the given values of a (the slope).Finding the slope of a curve (parabola, etc.) is taken at the tangent point. As you move along the curve, the slope changes (i.e the slope is NOT constant). The slope of a curve can be found by taking the derivative of the function that defines the curve. After derivation, you just plug in the values of x at where you want to find the slope at.


How does finding slope compare to finding the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship?

The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.


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
