How do you find the slope given (2,5) and (3,0)?

Answer 1

The slope is #-5#.

To find the slope of something, we use the formula #(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#.

We have two given coordinates here, #(2, 5)# and #(3, 0)#. We can plug them into our formula and find the slope: #(0-5)/(3-2)#

Now we simplify: #(-5)/1#

So the slope is #-5#.

Below

A slope's gradient is determined by

#(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#

Using your two points as a guide,

m=#(5-0)/(2-3)# = #5/-1# = #-5#

Hence, your gradient is #-5#

To find the slope ( m ) between two points ( (x_1, y_1) ) and ( (x_2, y_2) ), you use the formula:

( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} )

Using the points (2, 5) and (3, 0):

( m = \frac{0 - 5}{3 - 2} = \frac{-5}{1} = -5 )

Therefore, the slope is -5.

Answer from HIX Tutor

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
