Find Slope of A Straight Line
Calculator to find the slope of the straight line using the values of x and y coordinates.
The important properties of a straight line is in how it angles away from the horizontal. This concept is reflected in something called the "slope" of the line.
We can find the slop (m) using formula :
$$ m = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)}{(x_2 - x_1)} or \frac{(y_1 - y_2)}{(x_1 - x_2)}$$
$$ m = \frac{(y_2 - y_1)}{(x_2 - x_1)}$$ $$ m = \frac{(8 - 3)}{(9 - (-4))}$$ $$ m = \frac{(5)}{(9 + 4)}$$ $$ m = \frac{5}{13}$$ $$ m = 0.3846153846153846$$ $$ m = 0.385$$
$$\text{or m }= \frac{(y_1 - y_2)}{(x_1 - x_2)}$$ $$ m = \frac{(3 - 8)}{((-4) - 9)}$$ $$ m = \frac{(-5)}{(-13)}$$ $$ m = \frac{5}{13}$$ $$ m = 0.3846153846153846$$ $$ m = 0.385$$
