Week 13 – Slope formula

This week in math 10 I learned the importance of slope and how we can find it. There is more than one way to find the slope of a graph. One is called a T-chart and one is called slope formula. In my opinion slope formula is the more efficient way to find the slope of a graph because the math is easier.

slope formula needs two coordinates (nice points) of a graph to work. To start, you take the y facture of the second coordinate and minus it by the y facture of the the first coordinate. if the first y facture is already negative, then you add it instead

ex/ : (5,-3)  (6, 4)      y’s = 4+3     because two negatives make a positive

the y’s are put directly on top the x’s, in the same process so that the finish product is rise over run
