Find the slope between two positive coordinates

The video tutorial explains how to find the slope between two points using the slope formula. It begins by introducing the formula and the concept of slope. The teacher then demonstrates how to label coordinates as X1, Y1, X2, and Y2, and explains that the order of labeling does not affect the result. The tutorial proceeds with a step-by-step calculation of the slope using specific coordinates, resulting in a negative slope. The video concludes with a summary of the process.

What is the formula used to calculate the slope between two points?

• m = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• m = (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

• m = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

When labeling coordinates for slope calculation, which of the following is correct?

• First point as X2Y2 and second as X1Y1

• First point as Y1X1 and second as Y2X2

• First point as X1Y2 and second as X2Y1

• First point as X1Y1 and second as X2Y2

What happens if you swap the coordinates when calculating the slope?

• The slope value remains the same

• The slope value changes

• The slope becomes zero

• The slope becomes undefined

If the coordinates are (1, 5) and (2, 1), what is the slope?

• -1

• 1

• 4

• -4

What is the result of the calculation 5 - 1 in the slope formula?

• 6

• 5

• 4

• 3
