Determining negative slope between two points

The video tutorial explains how to determine the slope between two coordinate points. It begins by introducing the concept of slope and the importance of finding the change in Y values over the change in X values. The instructor uses subscripts to differentiate between the two points and applies the slope formula. A step-by-step calculation is demonstrated, resulting in a slope of negative five-thirds.

What is the primary focus when determining the slope between two points?

• Calculating the distance between the points

• Identifying the coordinates of the points

• Finding the midpoint of the points

• Determining the change in Y and X values

Why are subscripts used when working with two coordinate points?

• To differentiate between the two points

• To make the points look more complex

• To simplify the calculation

• To avoid using the same numbers

What does the slope formula represent?

• The average of the X and Y coordinates

• The change in Y over the change in X

• The sum of the X and Y coordinates

• The product of the X and Y coordinates

In the example calculation, what is the result of the slope?

• 3/5

• -5/3

• 5/3

• -3/5

What is the significance of the negative sign in the slope result?

• It shows the slope is decreasing

• It means the slope is zero

• It has no significance

• It indicates the slope is increasing
