The questions asks Two points are shown. find the slope of the line through the given points. How do I find out how many points are given. When the questions says points given do that always mean only 2 points will be given. I am totally confused please help \n" ); document.write( "

You probably have a whole list of exercises, and in each exercise, TWO points are given. For each exercise, then , you are given only two points. To find the slope, you must find the \"%28RISE%29%2F%28RUN%29+\", which can be found with this famous formula:
\n" ); document.write( "\"m=%28y%5B1%5D-y%5B2%5D%29%2F%28x%5B1%5D-x%5B2%5D%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "According to this formula, to find the RISE, you must subtract the y coordinates, and to find the RUN, you must subtract the x coordinates. Then just take the RISE OVER the RUN. That will be the slope between the two points.\r
