Example Question #11 :Coordinate Geometry
Which of the following equations has as its graph a line with slope?
For each equation, solve forand express in the slope-intercept form. The coefficient ofwill be the slope.
is graphed by a line with slopeand is the correct choice.
Example Question #1 :Slope
Find the slope of.
The equation given should be written in slope-intercept form, orformat.
Thein the slope-intercept equation represents the slope.
Addon both sides of the equation.
Divide by two on both sides of the equation to isolate y.
Therefore, the slope is 1.
Example Question #13 :Coordinate Geometry
Determine the slope, given the pointsand.
Write the formula for the slope.
We can select any point to beand vice versa.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 :Slope
Find the slope of the equation:
We will need to group the x variables on one side of the equation and the y-variable on the other.
Addon both sides.
Addon both sides.
Divide both sides by 9.
The slope is.
Example Question #15 :Coordinate Geometry
What is the slope of the following line?
To find the slope, rewrite the equation in slope intercept form.
Addon both sides.
This is the same as:
This means that the slope is.
The answer is:
Example Question #1 :Slope
What is the slope of the following equation?
Simplify the equation so that it is in slope-intercept format.
The simplified equation is:
The slope is:
Example Question #1 :Slope
What is the slope between the pointsand?
Recall that slope is calculated as:
This could be represented, using your two points, as:
Based on your data, this would be:
Example Question #1 :Slope
What is the slope of the line defined as?
There are two ways that you can do a problem like this. First you could calculate the slope from two points. You would do this by first choosing two values and then using the slope formula, namely:
This could take some time, however. You could also solve it by using the slope intercept form of the equation, which is:
If you get your equation into this form, you just need to look at the coefficient. This will give you all that you need for knowing the slope.
哟ur equation is:
What you need to do is isolate:
Notice that this is the same as:
The next operation confuses some folks. However, it is very simple. Just divide everything by. This gives you:
哟u do not need to do anything else. The slope is.
Example Question #1 :Slope
Find the slope of the equation:
To determine the slope, we will need the equation in slope-intercept form.
Subtractfrom both sides.
Divide by negative three on both sides.
The slope is:
