help: Find the slope and the units for the slope for the pair of coordinates...?

Question

(5,300)

Answer 1

For the general case (x1, y1) , (x2, y2)

slope = m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 2

You need at least two pair of coordinates. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x.
The units of the slope are the y units divided by the x units. e.g. miles/hr or ft/sec etc.

e.g. I ran the 100 in 10 seconds.
The slope is the velocity. The math is as follows;

change in y/change in x= 100 mtrs/10 sec

slope=velocity=10 m/s

note: the slope in this case was the velocity. In other cases it could be almost anything divided by anything.
e.g. number of girls you bedded/number of hotels you rented.
The slope is the girls/hotel.
o.k.?

Answer 3

well technically you do need TWO coordinates but the main equation to find the slope is:

y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

and to find the y- intercept:

y = mx + b

Answer 4

That's only one coordinate (5,300). You need *two* points to answer this!

Answer 5

In order to find slope you need two points, not just one. Sorry.

Answer 6

You need two coordinates. M= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
