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
