How to find the slope of a graph if the line has 6 points?

Question

Avery Alexander · Accepted Answer

Use any two points.

The reason why you can use any 2 points of your choice is that, a line has only one slope , and so all points are increasing or decreasing in the same regular manner.

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

where #(x_1,y_1)# is one point that is found on the line, and #(x_2,y_2)# is any other point lying on that same line.h

undefined To find the slope of a line given six points, you need to select any two points from the six and then use the formula for slope:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x).

Calculate the change in y by subtracting the y-coordinates of the two points, and similarly calculate the change in x by subtracting the x-coordinates of the two points. Then, divide the change in y by the change in x to find the slope. Repeat this process with different pairs of points if needed to ensure accuracy.
