Question
Which formula can be used to find the slope of a line from two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) ?(1 point)
Responses
y2+y1x2+x1
Start Fraction y subscript 2 baseline plus y subscript 1 baseline over x subscript 2 baseline plus x subscript 1 baseline End Fraction
y2y1−x2x1
Start Fraction y subscript 2 baseline over y subscript 1 baseline End Fraction minus Start Fraction x subscript 2 baseline over x subscript 1 baseline End Fraction
x2−x1y2−y1
Start Fraction x subscript 2 baseline minus x subscript 1 baseline over y subscript 2 baseline minus y subscript 1 baseline End Fraction
y2−y1x2−x1
Start Fraction y subscript 2 baseline minus y subscript 1 baseline over x subscript 2 baseline minus x subscript 1 baseline End Fraction
The correct formula to find the slope of a line from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:
Start Fraction y subscript 2 baseline minus y subscript 1 baseline over x subscript 2 baseline minus x subscript 1 baseline End Fraction.
The correct formula to find the slope of a line from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is:
Start Fraction (y2 - y1) over (x2 - x1) End Fraction
This formula represents the change in the y-coordinates divided by the change in the x-coordinates between the two points.
