Question

Find the slope between these two points!

Answer 1

`m = (d - b)/(c - a) \: where \: c \\e \: a`

Explanation:

We use the slope formula:

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

The slope or gradient is not very difficult to calculate.

The given points are:

A(a,b) and B(c,d)

We substitute these points into the formula to get:

`m = (d - b)/(c - a) \: where \: c \\e \: a`

Note that this is also the same as:

`m = (b - d)/(a- c) \: where \: c \\e \: a`
