find the slope of any line through points?

Question

( 0,5) and ( -3, -4)

Answer 1

The slope is accumulated through the formula y=mx+b. The variable "m" represents the slope. The variable b represents the y-intercept. But since you are given two points then you would use, y(sub 2)-y(sub 1) divided by x(sub 2)-x(sub1), to find the slope, because it wasn't given to you. (-4-5)/(-3-0)= -9/-3=3. Your slope would equal three.

Answer 2

The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in y over the change in x.

Simply put, find the difference of both the y and x coordinates and place them in a ratio.

Pick two points on the line. Because you are using two sets of ordered pairs both having x and y values, a subscript must be used to distinguish between the two values.

Answer 3

(x,y) pts on a line

(0,5) and (-3,-4)

Change in Y (5- (-4))/ change in X (0- (-3))

5+4/0+3 = 9/3 =3

Answer 4

You have to find the difference between the y cordinates divided by the difference between the x coordinates...

delta y/ delta x = (-4-5)/(-3-0) = 3

Answer 5

Or... you could do it the easy way. Stack and subrtact!
(0,5)
-(-3,-4)
^x ^y
5- -4 = 9
0- -3 = 3


9/3 = 3

Answer 6

slope is 3...use slope formula..u will get the answer..
