Question

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST! What is the formula to calculate the slope? Is it y^2-y^1/x^2-x^1? Please type it in for me.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

the 2 and 1 represent which number they are in a series of points. For example, if I were to have points (1,2) and (3,4)

4 would be $y_2$ meaning it is the second y value

2 would be $y_1$ meaning it's the first y value

Same goes for x

3 is $x_2$

1 is $x_1$

so the equation for slope is $\frac{4-2}{3-1}$, or 1

Answer 2

Answer:

You are correct. Remember: rise over run.

m = $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$
