How do you determine the slope between two points

This video tutorial explains how to determine the slope between two points. It begins with labeling the coordinates as X1, X2, Y1, and Y2, and then demonstrates how to use the slope formula: M = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1). The tutorial walks through plugging in the values, performing the subtraction, and simplifying the result to find the slope. The process is presented as a step-by-step guide applicable to various problems.

What is the first step in determining the slope between two points?

• Plug the coordinates into the formula

• Label the coordinates as X1, X2, Y1, and Y2

• Calculate the difference between the Y coordinates

• Simplify the result

Why is it important to differentiate between X1 and X2 when labeling coordinates?

• To avoid confusion when calculating the slope

• To simplify the subtraction process

• To make the graph look symmetrical

• To ensure the coordinates are in alphabetical order

Which formula is used to calculate the slope between two points?

• M = X2 - X1 / Y2 - Y1

• M = Y2 + Y1 / X2 + X1

• M = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

• M = X1 - X2 / Y1 - Y2

What is the result of subtracting -6 from 2 in the slope calculation?

• -4

• -8
