Understanding Slope Calculation

What are the coordinates of the two points used to find the slope in the video?

• (6, -5) and (2, 3)

• (5, -6) and (-3, -2)

• (-5, 6) and (3, 2)

• (-6, 5) and (2, -3)

Which formula is used to calculate the slope of a line given two points?

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

• (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

When substituting values into the slope formula, what should you be careful about?

• Ignoring the order of points

• Handling negative values correctly

• Using only positive numbers

• Switching x and y values
