Finding the slope
Slope form
100

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 2) and (4, 8)?

The slope of the line is 2

(-2,7),(8,3)

(3-7)/(8-2)

200

The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Substituting the points, we get m = (9 - 3) / (5 - 2)

(2, 3) and (4, 7)

(7 - 3) / (4 - 2)

300

: Using the slope formula, m = (5 - 1) / (2 - 4)

 (5, -1) and (-3, 7)

(7-1)/(-3-5)

Problem 5: Find the slope of the line given by the equation 2x + 5y = 10. 




 Therefore, the slope is -2/5.
