Explanation:
#"to calculate the slope m use the "color(blue)"gradient formula"#
#•color(white)(x)m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)#
#"let "(x_1,y_1)=(3,5)" and "(x_2,y_2)=(-3,-5)#
#rArrm=(-5-5)/(-3-3)=(-10)/(-6)=10/6=5/3#
Explanation:
The slope of a line can be found out using:
Change in
Where the first coordinate is
Remember a negative divided by a negative gets a positive.
If wanting to find the full equation, we have to find the
So far we have:
We can substitute in the
Using the coordinates
using
