How do you find the slope of a line? (Change in Y / Change in X)

1 answer:

8 0

In order to find the slope of a line, u must use the slope formula. Which is (y2-y1/x2-x1). For example if you had a set of coordinates that are (6,4) and (2,8) you would first sub the 8 from4 which gives you 4. The u do the same with 2 and 6 which gives u 4. After that you divide 4 by 4. and your answer is 1

Two lines have a slope of 3 and different y-intercepts how many solutions will this system have

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

0 solutions / no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, it means that they are parallel.

For example, we have two lines:

y = x

y = x + 1

Both lines have the same slope of 1, but different y - intercepts. Because each equation increases the x and y at the same right (slope) but started at different points, the two equations will never touch.

It's similar to two runner who run at the same pace. If one runner started 50 meters ahead, that runner will always be ahead 50 meters (y-intercept) because they both run at the same rate.
