How do you find the slope given Point 1 (4,2) Point 2 (3,4)?

Answer 1

slope = - 2

To find the slope 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 m represents the slope and #(x_1,y_1).(x_2,y_2)" are 2 coordinate points"#

The 2 points here are (4 ,2) and (3 ,4)

let #(x_1,y_1)=(4,2)" and " (x_2,y_2)=(3,4)#

#rArrm=(4-2)/(3-4)=2/(-1)=-2#

Hence slope of line joining points is - 2

To find the slope given Point 1 (4,2) and Point 2 (3,4), you can use the formula for slope, which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). So, plugging in the coordinates, you get: (4 - 2) / (3 - 4) = 2 / -1 = -2. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through these points is -2.

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.
