Question

How do I find the slope

Answer 1

you can find the slope taking two points of a graph or function,

identify the rightmost point and apply this equation

`m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)`

where (x2,y2) is the rightmost point and (x1,y1) is the other point

If i have two points (3,4) and (6,2)

the rigthmost point is (6,2) because 6 is greater than 3 and these two numbers are x, the place where I can locate myself horizontally or left or right

so, apply the equation

`\begin{gathered} m=(2-4)/(6-3) \\ m=(-2)/(3) \\ \end{gathered}`

So, the slope is

`-(2)/(3)`
