What is the slope of the line that passes through ( -3/4, 5 ) ( 5/4 , 2 ) ?

Slope is defined as increase in y over increase in x,\n\nIncrease in y is 5-2=3\nIncrease in x is -3/4-5/4=-0.5\nSo slope is 3/(-0.5)=-3/2

3/4 is the slope if u put it in the format of y = mx + b\n\nor \n\ny = .75x + 1

find the slopes of both lines and if there answers are opposite recipricals, then they are parrallel\n\nheres adn ex:\nslope = 2 and -1/2\n\nin other workds, if you multiply the two slopes, u should get -1

To find the slope, represented by m, you use the formula:  \n(the change in y)/(change in x)  \nor\n(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\nSo for (2,-3) (4,5)  x1=2  x2=4  y1=-3  y2=5\n((5-(-3))/(4-2)=(5+3)/(4-2)=(8)/(2)=4\nso m=4\n\nTo find the distance, represented by d, use the formula:\nsquare root((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)\n\nfor (2,-3) (4,5) d= 8.25

Slope is the "change in y" divided by the "change in x" (AKA "rise" over "run").\n\n(x1, y1) = (-2, 4)\n(x2, y2) = (2, -1)\n\nThus:\n\nm (slope) = "delta y"/"delta x" = rise/run\nm = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)\nm = (-1 - 4)/(2 - (-2))\nm = -5/4\n\nrun = 4, rise = -5

The  y coordinate is the same in both sets of coordinates the equation for this line is line y=-2. \n\nThis line is perfectly horizontal => the slope is 0.

gradient of the new line is -1/4\nso y=- 1/4x-c\nso using (2,3) 3 = (-1/4*2)-c\n3 = -1/2 - c\n3 and1/2 = -c\nc = -3 and 1/2\n\nso equation of line is:\n\ny = -1/4x + 3.5\n\nco-ordinates of C:\n when y=0\n\nso 0 = -1/4x + 3.5\n-3.5 = -1/4x\n3.5 = 1/4x\n14=x\n\nso co-ordinates of C = (14,0)\n\nHope this helps

looks like the vertex is (-5, 3)

slope = -0.25\nintercept = 1

slope = (-4-(-6))/(-2-0)\nslope = -1

Slope = m\n= y2-y1&#92;x2-x1 \n= -4-6/-3-2\n = -10&#92;-5\n=2\n\nnote: / means divided by\n\nthe slope of y= 2&#92;3x-4 is 2&#92;3

use the slope formula.\n\ny sub 2 minus y sub 1 divided by x sub 2 minus y sub 1\n\nthen you get 1-5 divided by 0-2\n\nthen you get -4 divided by -2\n\nthe answer is 2

Derivative is y=cos x -5. Substituting in 0 gives you the slope -4. Now plug in the coordinates (0,3) to get the line, which is y=-4x+3

Slope = 1/4\n\nSlope is the "change in y" divided by the "change in x" (AKA "rise" over "run").\n\n(x1, y1) = (1, 3)\n(x2, y2) = (5, 4)\n\nThus:\n\nm (slope) = "delta y"/"delta x"\nm = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)\nm = (4 - 3)/(5 - 1)\nm = 1/4

y = mx + b\n\nm is the slope (rise over run).  You have two coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).  Rise is y2-y1, Run is x2-x1.  So in your example, Rise = 6, Run = -5.  Slope = Rise/Run or -6/5\n\ny = -6/5x + b\n\nb is the y-intercept.\n\nPlugging in one of your coordinate x=3, y=-5\n-5 = -(6/5)(3) + b\nSolve for b and you have\nb = -5 + 18/5\nb = -25/5 + 18/5\nb = -7/5\n\ny = -6/5x -7/5\n\nTo double check, let's put in the second coordinate of x = -2, y = 1\n\n1 = -6/5(-2) -7/5\n1 = 12/5 - 7/5\n1 = 5/5\n1 = 1\n\nThis is consistent, so there is your answer:\n\ny = -6/5x -7/5

you have a few right answers here slope = -1/4

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\n5= (k-4)/(2-3)\n5= (k-4)/(-1)\nk-4= (-1)*5\nk-4= -5\nk= 4-5\nso k= -1.\ni hope you understand they way I worked it out. If you have any more questions, pls feel free to ask me on: pinkieflava@yahoo.co.uk
