Question

Write an expression for the slope of the line in the graph using the letters u,v,s, and t.

Answer 1

Answer:

We conclude that the slope between (s, t) and (u, v):

• slope = [v - t] / [u - s]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the slope between two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) using the formula

slope =  [y₂ - y₁] / [x₂ - x₁]

In our case, the two points are

(x₁, y₁) = (s, t)

(x₂, y₂) = (u, v)

Thus, the slope between (s, t) and (u, v)

slope = [v - t] / [u - s]

Therefore, we conclude that the slope between (s, t) and (u, v):

• slope = [v - t] / [u - s]
