What do I need to know to determine the slope between two points

The video tutorial explains how to determine the slope between two points. It covers labeling coordinate points, differentiating between X and Y coordinates, understanding the slope formula, and the importance of adding and subtracting numbers correctly. The tutorial also discusses reducing fractions in slope calculations.

How do you differentiate between two points on a graph when calculating slope?

• By using subscripts like x1, y1 and x2, y2

• By using different colors

• By labeling them with letters

• By changing the shape of the points

What is the formula for calculating the slope between two points?

• M = change in x over change in y

• M = x1 + x2 over y1 + y2

• M = y1 - y2 over x1 - x2

• M = change in y over change in x

Which of the following represents the concept of 'rise over run'?

• The change in x over the change in y

• The sum of x and y coordinates

• The difference between x and y coordinates

• The change in y over the change in x

When adding negative numbers, what is the result of 5 minus negative 7?

• Negative 12

• 12

• Negative 2

• 2

How can you simplify the fraction 2/8 when calculating slope?

• By subtracting 2 from both numerator and denominator

• By multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2

• By dividing both numerator and denominator by 2

• By adding 2 to both numerator and denominator
