How do you find the slope given (5,11) & (1,3)?

Answer 1

slope = 2

To find the slope (m ) of a line passing through 2 coordinate points use the #color(blue)"gradient formula"#

#color(red)(|bar(ul(color(white)(a/a)color(black)(m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1))color(white)(a/a)|))# where # (x_1,y_1)" and " (x_2,y_2)" are 2 points"#

Here the 2 points are (5 ,11) and (1 ,3)

let # (x_1,y_1)=(5,11)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(1,3)#

Substituting into the formula.

#rArrm=(3-11)/(1-5)=(-8)/(-4)=2#

The result is the same if the coordinate points are 'swapped'

To find the slope given the points (5,11) and (1,3), you can use the slope formula:

slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Substitute the coordinates into the formula:

slope = (3 - 11) / (1 - 5)

Calculate:

slope = (-8) / (-4)

Simplify:

slope = 2

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.
