Math 10 Week 12 – Finding the Slope

In this blog post, I am going to show you how to find the slope of a line using the X and Y coordinates.

The equation we can use to solve this is:

So let’s say you have the coordinates (3,4) and (8,7)

You would then take the information given from these coordinates and place it into the equation.

Which would look like this: 4-7/3-8

Which would equal to -3/-5

Which is equivalent to 3/5

Knowing this method is really easy and will help you figure out slopes by using the coordinates.
