Question

GIVING 99 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST!!!!!! how do you find the slope on a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

If you wish to find the slope of a line that lies on the coordinate plane, you first have to find two random points.

Let these two points be $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$

Now, to calculate for the slope $m$, you use the following equation

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

If the slope of the graph you're trying to find isn't a line, you might need to use some calculus to find the slope.

• You would need to calculate the derivative of that graph at that point, or you could just try and estimate the slope of the tangent line of the graph at that point.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
