Example Question #483 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)
Find the slope of the line that goes through the points and
.
Even though there are variables involved in the coordinates of these points, you can still use the slope formula to figure out the slope of the line that connects them.
Example Question #91 : Expressions & Equations
The equation of a line is . Find the slope of this line.
To find the slope, you will need to put the equation in form. The value of
will be the slope.
Subtract from either side:
Divide each side by :
You can now easily identify the value of .
Example Question #1 : How To Find Slope
Find the slope of the line that passes through the points and
.
You can use the slope formula to figure out the slope of the line that connects these two points. Just substitute the specified coordinates into the equation and then subtract:
Example Question #1 : Slope
Find the slope of the following function:
Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form, .
The slope is the term, which is
.
Example Question #3 : How To Find Slope
Find the slope of the line given the two points:
Write the formula to find the slope.
Either equation will work. Let's choose the latter. Substitute the points.
Example Question #2 : Slope
What is the slope of the line with the equation
To find the slope, put the equation in the form of .
Since , that is the value of the slope.
Example Question #11 : How To Find Slope
Consider the line of the equation . The line of a function
has the same slope as that of
. Which of the following could be the definition of
?
The definition of is written in slope-intercept form
, in which
, the coefficient of
, is the slope of its line.
, so the slope of its line is
.
We must select the choice whose line has this slope. The definition of in each choice is also written in slope-intercept form, so we select the alternative with
-coefficient 5; the only such alternative is
.
Example Question #1 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept
What is the -intercept of the graph of the function
?
The -intercept of the graph of a function is the point at which it intersects the
-axis - that is, at which
. This point is
, so evaluate
:
The -intercept is
.
Example Question #1 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept
Give the -intercept, if there is one, of the graph of the equation
The graph has no -intercept.
The graph has no -intercept.
The -intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the
-axis; at this point, the
-coordinate is 0, so substitute
for
in the equation:
However, since this expression has 0 in a denominator, it is of undefined value. This means that there is no value of paired with
-coordinate 0, and, subsequently, the graph of the equation has no
-intercept.
Example Question #2 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept
Give the -intercept, if there is one, of the graph of the equation
The graph has no -intercept.
The -intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the
-axis; at this point, the
-coordinate is 0, so substitute
for
in the equation:
The -intercept is
