Question 23100


Simply:

{{{ m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) }}}

Here's how you'd use it....


Say you have two points, and you want to find the slope between them...

(6,2) & (3,7)

Well, I'd observe that x1 = 6, and x2 = 3
I'd also take in that y1 = 2 and y2 = 7

Using the slope formula, we can find the slope between those two points

{{{ m = (2-7)/(6-3) }}}
{{{ m = (-5)/(2) }}}
{{{ m = -5/2 }}}

The slope decreases 5 units and goes to the right 2 units





Hope I helped
