what is slope as related to math?
547413
On a graph, a line can have a slope. The slope is defined as how many spaces the line moves up or down divided by how many spaces the line moves left or right from any two given points. You may see it written as\n\nrise\n----\nrun\n\nOR\n\nchange in Y\n-----------\nchange in X\n\nOR\n\n{for the line through points (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2)}\n\nY1-Y2\n-----\nX1-X2\n\n\nA line from upper right to lower left will have a positive slope.\nFrom upper left to lower right will have a negative slope.\nStraight up and down will have an undefined slope.\nLeft to right will have a slope of 0.\n\nHope this helped! Good luck!

Rise over run is NOT the Pythagorean theorem. Rise over run is the slope of a line. It is measured by taking the quotient of the difference vertical change in position to lateral change in position. A negative slope is one whose line falls in the direction from left to right while a positive slope rises the left to right (depending on how your coordinate system is defined- a right handed coordinate system behaves this way)

for (0,2),(4,0) the slope is -1/2\nfor (-2,0),(4,0) the slope is 0

slope m = (2-5)/(5--2) = -3/7\n5=-3/7*2+b\n5+6/7 = b = 35/7+6/7=41/7\n\ny =-3/7x+41/7

To find the slope, you always have to set the equation as y=mx+b.  That equation is called the slope-intercept form.  "m" is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\nNow, to find the slope, try to get y alone.\n1. Subtract 2x from both sides.  You'll get: -8y=-2x+7\n2. Divide both sides by -8.  You'll get: y=(1/4)x+(-7/8)\nSo, the equation is y=(1/4)x-(7/8) and the slope is (1/4).

A line's equation is y=mx+b where m is the slope of the line and b is where it crosses the y-axis.  In this case, you need to simplify the equation down to make it into the y=mx+b format.  If you do this, you get y=10x-13.  So in this instance, the slope of the line is 10.

x=(1--2)  or (1+2)\ny=(5-3)\n\ny/x=slope\nx=3\ny=2\nslope is 2/3

Yes because to find slope you need change in y and change in x (or whatever coordinate system you use).\n\nSince you have both two x's and two y's then you're set.\n\nUse this formula: Δy/Δx where Δ stands for "change in" or (y1 - y2)/(x1 - x2)\n\nUsing the coordinates listed:\n(-2 - -2)/(6 - -8)=\n(-2 + 2)/(6 + 8)=\n(0)/(14)\n\nSince '0' divided by anything is zero, your slope is zero.\n\nThis would be a line that is parallel to the x axis 2 units below the axis.

The slope of any line is dy/dx. The x axis has no dy; i.e., dy=0 so dy/dx=0. The y axis has no dx; dx=0 so dy/dx = undefined.

The slope is 5 (I'm giving you correct on that although it's been over 40 years and I forget).  The constant variation is x.  x can have any value and the y will be 5 times as great which is how you plot the slope.  I seem to recall that direct variation might be in response to another item.  In this case it would also be true since x varies as 1/5 of y.  Check your text for the definitions.  As I said, 40 years since I had to define those terms.

although Question is little vague, i understand that u want to find slope of a line ???\n\nsay coordinatyes of A and B are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)\n\nThe Slope of line m= (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

equation of slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)\n\n(8,-2) means x1=8 and y1=-2\n(3,5) means x2=3 and y2=5\n\nso slope= (5-(-2))/(3-8)\n=7/-5\n\nso slope= -7/5

the Slope is 5/3, period

Given two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), slope is (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1):\n(1 - 6)/(-3 - 5) = -5/-8 = 5/8

slope is equivalent to dy/dx = y'\n y = x -1\ndy/dx = dx/dx -0\n dy/dx = 1\n   y' = 1\nTherefore the slope of the given equation is 1.

a good way to describe slope is change in one variable with respect to another.  Thus the rise over run analogy.  Rise is vertical (y-axis) while run is horizontal (x-axis).  In real world applications, the horizontal is oftentimes time, but not necessarily, so slope is often a change in time.

This is for math right? If so:\n\nThe slope-intercept form is:\n\ny = mx + b\n\ny = value on the y-axis\nm = slope\nx = value on the x-axis\nb = y-axis intercept\n\nThe slope-intercept form gives the equation for a straight line.
