Find Slope Using the Slope Formula

Find the slope of the line.

• Undefined

• 0

• 1

• -1

What is the slope formula?

With the two coordinates (4,1) and (8,3), the top part of the equation used to find the slope of the line would be:

• 3 - 1

• 3 - 4

• 8 - 4

• 8 - 1

With the two coordinates (4,1) and (8,3), the bottom part of the equation used to find the slope of the line would be:

• 3 - 1

• 3 - 4

• 8 - 4

• 8 - 1

What is the slope of a line that passes through the coordinates (4,1) and (8,3)?

• -2

• -1/2

• 1/2

• 2

With the two coordinates (2,3) and (4,6), the bottom part of the equation used to find the slope of the line would be:

• 6 - 3

• 6 - 2

• 4 - 2

• 4 - 3

What is the slope of a line that passes through the coordinates (2,3) and (4,6)?

• -3/2

• -2/3

• 2/3

• 3/2

With the two coordinates (9,6) and (5,3), the bottom part of the equation used to find the slope of the line would be:

• 3 - 6

• 3 - 9

• 5 - 6

• 5 - 9

What is the slope of a line that passes through the coordinates (9,6) and (5,3)?

• -4/3

• -3/4

• 3/4

• 4/3

Answer explanation

Two negatives give you a positive.

With the two coordinates (4,5) and (6,2), the top part of the equation used to find the slope of the line would be:

• 2 - 5

• 2 - 4

• 6 - 4

• 6 - 5
