∙ 2012-04-04 13:50:27The idea is to divide (difference in y-coordinates) by (difference in x-coordinates). If you mean points of (-5, 4) and (15, -4) then the slope works out as -2/5
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).
The slope is zero.
You should divide (difference of y-coordinates) / (difference of x-coordinates).
Points: (-2, 4) and (-6, 12) Slope: -2
The idea is to divide (difference in y-coordinates) by (difference in x-coordinates). If you mean points of (-5, 4) and (15, -4) then the slope works out as -2/5
The slope of a line that passes through two points is (difference in y) / (difference in x).
Where are the points!
If you mean points of (5, 8) and (3, 9) then the slope works out as -1/2
If you mean points of: (5, 0) and (6, 2) then the slope works out as 2

The slope is zero.
Points: (2, 1) and (5, 3) Slope: 2/3
The slope is 1/2.
The slope is 2.
You should divide (difference of y-coordinates) / (difference of x-coordinates).
Two coordinates are needed to work out the slope of the line.
