Question

How do you figure out the slope of a line

Answer 1

You divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of the same 2points

Answer 2

Answer:

There's a formula: $\frac{y_{1} -y_{2}}{x_{1}-x_{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

You take 2 points from the line, and plug it in.

For example, if the 2 points on a line were (1, 4) and (2, 7) you would set it up like this...

$\frac{2-1}{7-4}$

...then solve the top and then solve the bottom so it becomes a fraction:

$\frac{1}{3}$

One thing is that is that if the Y1 is from the first coordinate, then X1 should also be form the 1st coordinate
