Find the slope from two points
Find the slope from two points
What you'll learn
- Calculate the slope of a line given two points on the line, expressing the answer as a simplified fraction.
- Identify the coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) from two given points on a line.
- Apply the slope formula (m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)) to find the slope of a line when given two points, demonstrating all steps clearly.
- Explain in their own words why the order of the points matters when using the slope formula and how it affects the sign of the slope.
