What is the slope of?

Thats simple. The formula is: Y2-Y1/X2-X1\n\nIt would be: 7-3/6-2 which is 4/4 which is 1. The slops is 1.

if acceleration is on the x axis, the slope represents 1/mass\n\nas\n\nslope = x/y = acc/force\nand\nforce=mass x acc\nso\nacc/force=1/mass\n\nif force is on the x axis, the slope represents mass\n\nas\n\nslope = x/y = force/acc\nand\nforce=mass x acc\nso\nforce/acc=mass

On a graph, a line can have a slope. The slope is defined as how many spaces the line moves up or down divided by how many spaces the line moves left or right from any two given points. You may see it written as\n\nrise\n----\nrun\n\nOR\n\nchange in Y\n-----------\nchange in X\n\nOR\n\n{for the line through points (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2)}\n\nY1-Y2\n-----\nX1-X2\n\n\nA line from upper right to lower left will have a positive slope.\nFrom upper left to lower right will have a negative slope.\nStraight up and down will have an undefined slope.\nLeft to right will have a slope of 0.\n\nHope this helped! Good luck!

Yes because to find slope you need change in y and change in x (or whatever coordinate system you use).\n\nSince you have both two x's and two y's then you're set.\n\nUse this formula: Δy/Δx where Δ stands for "change in" or (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)\n\nUsing the coordinates listed:\n(-2 - -2)/(6 - -8)=\n(-2 + 2)/(6 + 8)=\n(0)/(14)\n\nSince '0' divided by anything is zero, your slope is zero.\n\nThis would be a line that is parallel to the x axis 2 units below the axis.

Slope equals rise over run.\nGee, this sounds like fun.\ny = mx + b\nWhat a wonderful sight to see.\nSlope equals rise over run.\nNow my poem is done.

The slope should be 3 over 1 or +3(rise over run)and the x and y intercepts would both be 0  (0,0). \n\nThis can be found by using the equation y=mx+b or by using a graphing calculator. The graph of the line in this case crosses exactly where the x-axis and y-axis cross (0,0).

it's the slope-intercept form of the equation for a line.

equation of slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\n\n(8,-2) means x1=8 and y1=-2\n(3,5) means x2=3 and y2=5\n\nso slope= (5-(-2))/(3-8)\n=7/-5\n\nso slope= -7/5

slope m = (2-5)/(5--2) = -3/7\n5=-3/7*2+b\n5+6/7 = b = 35/7+6/7=41/7\n\ny =-3/7x+41/7

To find the slope, you always have to set the equation as y=mx+b.  That equation is called the slope-intercept form.  "m" is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\nNow, to find the slope, try to get y alone.\n1. Subtract 2x from both sides.  You'll get: -8y=-2x+7\n2. Divide both sides by -8.  You'll get: y=(1/4)x+(-7/8)\nSo, the equation is y=(1/4)x-(7/8) and the slope is (1/4).

No - the slope is going to be a number, not an equation.\n\nd/dx (2x^2) = 4x\n\nAt x = -2, the slope will be -8.\n\nThe equation of the tangent LINE would be\n\ny + 8 = -8(x + 2)\n\ny = -8x - 24, as you have it.\n\nAnd no - getting the terminology right is not a minor point.

A ladder against a wall makes a right triangle (one 90 degree angle).\nThe slope will be the angle whose tangent is the opposite side (16 feet) divided by the ajacent side (4 feet):\n\ntan(angle) = 16/4 = 4\nangle = arctan(4)\nangle (slope) = 75.964 degrees\n\nHope this helps!

well speed is units of distance per unit time, lets say meters per second(m/s). now the slope is the velocity per unit time. so that would be meters per second per second(m/s/s). meters per second per second is also known as meters per second squared(m/s^2). look familiar? those are the units for acceleration. this also makes sense because of the formula. a=v/t. so the slope is the y-axis divided by the x-axis so v is the y-axis and t is the x-axis. so v/t, which is acceleration. hope that helps :)

The slope is 1.\n\nThink about it this way.  All lines have the same formula:\n\ny = mx + b\n\nm = slope\nb = y intercept\n\nSince there is nothing in front of the x, the slope is 1 because \n1*x = x

55m 450mm\n\nOk so I'm not a surveyor, but here goes. The slope is the "rise over the run". In this case, the rise is .450 meters and the run is 55m. So the slope is .450/55 = .008 meters.\n\nNow the "depression angle" -- well the slope is the tangent of the angle, so the inverse tangent of .008 should give you the angle. My calculator says about 0.47 degrees.\n\nBut again, I'm an electrical engineer, not a surveyor, so I'm not 100% sure these terms mean what I think they mean!

Lines with undefined slope are always in the form x = a, where a  is any real number. This is a vertical line, where the the value of x is constant, not dependent on y.\n\n\nSince an ordered pair is in the form (x,y)....in the ordered pair (4,-2), x = 4\n\nSo your equation is x = 4

Steep would refer to the angle, reguardless of "going up or down".  the opposite you are probably thinking of is "that staircase has a steep decline"
