The slope of the line that passes through any two coordinates is the quotient of the difference in the y-coordinates and the x-coordinates
<h3>How to calculate the slope of a line from the coordinates?</h3>
From the question, the coordinate points are not represented in the parameters
This means that we represent the coordinates using variables x and y
Rewrite the above points properly
So, we have the following ordered pairs
(x, y) = (x₁, x₂) and (y₁, y₂)
The slope of the line is then calculated using the following slope equation
Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Where
(x₁, x₂) and (y₁, y₂) are the coordinates of the points that the line passes through
This means that we calculate the difference between the y-coordinates, and we also calculate the difference between the x-coordinates
Then we divide the results of the differences, making the change in the y-coordinates as the numerator, and the change in the x-coordinates as the denominator
The slope formula can also be represented as
Slope = Rise/Run
Where
Run = (x₂ - x₁) and Rise = (y₂ - y₁)
