Pick any two points in the table. The slope of the line is
(change in the y-value from one point to the other)/(change in the x-value from the same point to the other)
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.
Assume your points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The slope of a line is its rise (the change in y-coordinates) over its run (the change in x-coordinates). So to find the slope of the line, you substitute the correct values into the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
The slope of both lines will be the same.
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.
A line in slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, find any two coordinates, and divide the difference in y-values by the difference in x-values; to find the y-intercept, find the value of y where x = 0.
take two ordered pairs. then do difference of y's divided by difference of x's and that is your slope
Choose two distinct points from the table and designate their coordinates as x1, y1 and x2, y2. The slope of the line then will equal (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1).
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
Slope m = change in y divided by change in x. Pick two coordinates from the table. (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = slope of the line. Note that the 1 and 2 are not numbers in the equation but represent the x and y values from coordinates 1 and 2.
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.
Assume your points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The slope of a line is its rise (the change in y-coordinates) over its run (the change in x-coordinates). So to find the slope of the line, you substitute the correct values into the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
If the table consists of a column of x values and a column of y values, and if the x values are in increasing order, ten the y values will be in decreasing order. The graph of y against x will have a downward slope. That is, the line or curve will be going from top left of the chart to bottom right.
The difference in the x-values of two points on a line is called the run. This term is used in math when finding slope of a line. The change in y-values on a line is called the rise. The slope is given as rise divided by the run.

If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
In math, the slope of a line represents its steepness. It is the change in y values over the change in the values of x, or rise over run.
