Asked by Jason

How do you figure out the slope without drawing the graph? I kinda forgot. I have a chart with data, and I need to know the slope

please help

thank you
Answered by bobpursley
slope is the change in y divided by the change in x

Pick two data points

(x1,y1) (x2, y2)

slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

ysub2-ysub1
------------= slope
xsub2-xsub1

the points are (x,y), obviously. just fill it in.
Answered by namrot
yes, that's what i meant. i meant to pick two points, not just one.
