How to find the slope of a line that contains two points (x,y) and (x,y)
1. Label each coordinate (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) 2. Substitute them into the equation for m 3. Evaluate Example: Find the slope of the line through (2,4) and (-5, -7) (2, 4) (-5, -7) x2, y2 x1, y1 m = (4 - -7) = (4 + 7) = 1 1 Slope is 11/7 (2 - -5) (2 + 5) 7 |
