Slope Practice
What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 2) and (4, 8)?
The slope of the line is 2
.
y=3x+2
5
(-2,7),(8,3)
(3-7)/(8-2)
The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Substituting the points, we get m = (9 - 3) / (5 - 2)
2
y=-2x-5
-2
(2, 3) and (4, 7)
(7 - 3) / (4 - 2)
: Using the slope formula, m = (5 - 1) / (2 - 4)
-2
y=1/2x+4
1/2
(5, -1) and (-3, 7)
(7-1)/(-3-5)
Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1, 1) and (1, 3).
1
y=-x+1
-1
(1,4),(-10,9)
(9-4)/(-10,1)
Problem 5: Find the slope of the line given by the equation 2x + 5y = 10.
Therefore, the slope is -2/5.
y=4x-3
4
(4,5) and (6,8)
(8-5)/(6-4)
