Week 14 – Slopes

This week in Math 10 we learned how to calculate slopes using a formula, the slope formula is \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} it does not matter what number you choose for what as long as you keep it the same and dont change it.  You need 1 x coordinate and 1 y coordinate. so if we have our numbers as (-5)x, (-7)x and (5)x^2, (3)y^2 then the equation would be \frac {3 - -7}{5 - -5} so it easily comes out as \frac {10}{10}. which is = to 1.
