Find the slope of a line that passes through the point (1,5) and (4,8). What do u need to solve this problem?

Question

Write out steps...

Answer 1

You are possibly looking for this equation;

(Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1)

Y2, X1 etc are the coordinates.

X1 = 1, Y1 = 5
X2 = 4, Y2 = 8

> (8-5) / (4-1)
= 3/3
= 1

The slope (gradient) of the line is +1.

I hope this helps =]

Answer 2

to find the slope u need 2 points on a line. 1,5 4,8. then u set it up like (8-5)/(4-1) then u get 3/3 which is 1. the slope is 1.

Answer 3

You need the equation y1-y2/x1-x2.
So you subtract 5-8 and get -3
You subtract 1-4 and get -3
After this, you have -3 over -3. This is 1.
The slope of your line is 1.

Answer 4

Hello,

The slope of a line is defined by using the ratio of the difference of the y-values divide by the difference of the x-values (sometimes called the rise over the run)..

(8-5)/(4-1).

Be sure that you get the order of the subtraction the same.

Answer 5

Use the slope formula. m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 6

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

subtract y2- y1
subract x2-x1

divide difference of y's by the difference for x's
