i don't get how to do slope i know the equation but it never comes out right...do you have any advice to help me b/c i ask some people and they don't get it either and we have a test tomorrow?
CAn you give us a specific example?
Well slope is very simple.All you have to do is use this formula:y2-y1/x2-x1!If you need anything else just tell me and I will be able to help you!Good Luck on your test.Please reply,also please try to help me!!

Slope is rise over run, or change in y values over change in x values. If you have two points
p=(x1,y1) and q=(x2,y2)
then the slope is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
When you graph a line the solpe is the measure of how the changes in elevation as you move along it.
If you have a specific problem you want help with, or an example you want worked out then post it.
Sure! Let's say we have two points, (x1, y1) = (2, 5) and (x2, y2) = (4, 9).
To find the slope, we use the formula:
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
= (9 - 5) / (4 - 2)
= 4 / 2
= 2
So the slope of the line passing through these two points is 2.
To check if this is correct, you can plot the points on a graph and draw a line passing through them. Then you can count the rise and run between the two points and see if it is consistent with the slope you calculated.
Remember, the slope represents the steepness of a line. A positive slope indicates an upward line, while a negative slope indicates a downward line. A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal, and a slope is undefined for vertical lines.
I hope this example helps clarify how to calculate slope. If you have any further questions or need assistance with specific problems, please let me know!
