in order to find the slope you need two sets of (x, y) coordinates. then you plug it in the formula (y2- y1) / (x2- x1). The resulting fraction is the slope, simplify it if possible.
To find the slope between two points: slope = change_in_y/change_in_x Thus for the points (4, 5) and (6, 8), the slope between them is given by: slope = (8-5)/(6-4) = 3/2 = 1½ = 1.5
The slope of a line is the same thing as the rate of change between two variables in a linear relationship.
The slope between any two points in a plane is the ratio of the difference in the vertical direction (the rise) and the difference in the horizontal direction (the run). Since it is a ratio, the difference in the horizontal direction may not be zero. However, the slope of a vertical line is considered to be "infinite". With that qualification, the slope between any two points on a plane can have any real value.The slope between any two distinct points on a graph is as defined above. The slope at a single point is defined only if the relevant function is differentiable at that point and it is the slope of the tangent to graph at that point.
The slope for these two points is undefined, or straight up.
Slope is rise over run, so if you have a rise of 2 and a run of 4, then the slope is 0.5. If the table gives rises and runs, then just follow the two until they meet, that should be the slope.
The slope is the change in distance between any two points divided by the change in time between them.
If our two points were (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). We'd remember slope is rise over run. We'd have (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plug in your numbers, and you would have the slope of the line between these two points.
how to find the slope of the line between the two points (-1,2) and (3, -6). can you plaese show how
To find the slope between two points: slope = change_in_y/change_in_x Thus for the points (4, 5) and (6, 8), the slope between them is given by: slope = (8-5)/(6-4) = 3/2 = 1½ = 1.5
If you mean a topographic map, then you just divide the distance between two contour lines by the change in height between the two points
No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.
The slope is the rise/over run of a line. The equation of a line is usually written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you can take two points on a line, find how much the line goes up (or down) between the two, and divide it by how much the lines moves to the right. Usually the slope is left in the simplest fraction form.
To find the slope of a line, which is m, you can take the difference between the y-values and divide it by the different between the x-values of the two points, in this case are (34,5) and (54,2). So, your slope is equal to (2-5)/(54-34)=-3/20
The average slope is the ratio of the change between two points
Slope is the steepness (or not) of a line. The way you find slope is with the equation (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1) = M (M is the symbol used for slope). Now if you had the two points (2,3) and (4,1) the way you would find the slope between them is to take the two Y's 3 and 1 and put them on top of the equation. Then you would take the two X's 2 and 4 and put them on the bottom and the you would have (1-3)/(4-2). The order of the Y's and X's doesn't matter, so long as you don't mix them up. Then when you simplify the equation, your answer is -1, so the slope between those two points is -1. The only two situation where slope can be rather strange is when the line is either completely vertical or horizontal. In the case of a vertical, there is no slope, so you would put no solution. As for the horizontal, the slope is zero.
To find the slope, you must have at least two points, not one. You cannot find the slope at one point, because coordinate points do not have slopes - lines have slopes.
To find the slope we need to divide the difference in rise between these two points by the difference in run between them. The difference in rise equals: 3-2 = 1. The difference in run between these points equals: 2-4 = -2.Now we just divide 1/-2 and we get the slope of the line formed by these two points: -0.5
