thank u very much

Slope of a line
Slope = Vertical Change / Horizontal change
Slope Formula
m = y₂- y₁/x₂- x₁
Ordered Pair
(5, 4)(0, 3)
m = 4 - 3/ 5 - 0
m = 1/5
The answer is m = 1/5
The solutio set is { 1/5 }

slope=m=rise/run
4+3/5+0
8/5 Ans or slope of the given line

the equation of a straight line is y=mx+c, where m is the slope. c is the intercept.
m is = y1-y2/x1-x2 sine it is the two points on the line that is given. here it is 4-3/5=1/5=0.2

m = (Y2-Y1) / (X2-X1)
pick which point is 1 & 2
a=1 (5,4) b=2 (0,3) so ...(3-4) / (0-5) = -1 / -5 = 1/5
a=2 b=1 (4-3) / (5 - 0) = 1/5

Slope is (y2-y1) / (x2-y1) (Rise over run as someone else noted)
That gives (3-4) / (0-5)
Which yields -1/-5 or
1/5 as your slope.

(4-3)/(5-0) = 1/5

It's just the rise divided by the run, or 1/5.

m(slope) = (y-y)/(x-x)
so here we have (4-3)/(5-0) or 1/5

slope =(y2-y1)(x2-x1)=(3-4)/(0-5)=-1/(-5)=+0.2
