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 for these two points is undefined, or straight up.
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.
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.
