How to find the slope between two points using slope formula

The video tutorial explains how to find the slope between two points using the standard slope formula. It begins with an introduction to the formula, followed by instructions on labeling the points as X1, Y1, X2, and Y2. The tutorial then demonstrates the calculation of the slope by plugging the labeled points into the formula, ensuring to handle negative values correctly. The video concludes with a summary of the process.

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

• M = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

• M = Y1 - Y2 / X1 - X2

• M = X2 - X1 / Y2 - Y1

• M = X1 - X2 / Y1 - Y2

Why is it important to label the points consistently when using the slope formula?

• To match the textbook examples

• To avoid confusion with other formulas

• To make the graph look neat

• To ensure the correct calculation of the slope
