Answer:

First I'm not exactly sure what you're asking but the equation for slope is:

Y2-Y1/X2-X1=M


Explanation:

M is your slope

X1 and Y1 represent your first point

X2 and Y2 represent your second point

To translate you are finding the rate of change (slope) between two points

Answer: Slope = ∆y/∆x = y2-y1/x2-x1

Explanation:

The slope of a line which is also known as the gradient can be gotten by taking the ratio of the change in coordinate of y-axis to the x-axis of the line.

Change in y axis = y2-y1

Where y2 and y1 are final length and initial length respectively on the y axis

Change in x axis = x2-x1

Where x2 and x1 are final length and initial length respectively on the x axis.

The slope of the line therefore gives;

Slope = ∆y/∆x = y2-y1/x2-x1
