Distance, Midpoint, and Slope

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

Slope = 2

Front

What is the definition of the midpoint of a line segment?

Back

The midpoint is the point that divides the segment into two equal parts, calculated as ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

Front

Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints (4, 12) and (-6, 14).

Back

Midpoint = (-1, 13)
