Math Problem Statement
What is the slope of this line?
Solution
To determine the slope of the line, we can use the slope formula, which is:
Here, the two points on the line are and .
Substituting these coordinates into the formula:
Thus, the slope of the line is .
Would you like more details or have any questions about this? Here are five related questions you might find useful:
- What does a positive slope indicate about the direction of the line?
- How would you calculate the slope if the points were given in different quadrants?
- How can you use the slope to determine if two lines are parallel?
- What is the slope of a horizontal or vertical line?
- How can you write the equation of a line once you know the slope and a point on the line?
Tip: The slope of a line tells you how steep the line is and the direction it slants.
