Slope Formula

Description

This example illustrates the calculation of slope for a line connecting two points in different quadrants: (-4, 8) in Quadrant II and (6, 2) in Quadrant I. Applying the slope formula, we find that the slope is (8 - 2) / (-4 - 6) = 6 / -10 = -3 / 5.

The slope formula is a fundamental concept in coordinate geometry, helping us understand the steepness and direction of lines. This example demonstrates how to handle points in different quadrants and interpret a negative slope.

Slope Formula

Description

This example demonstrates the calculation of slope for a horizontal line connecting two points: (-4, 3) in Quadrant II and (2, 3) in Quadrant I. When we apply the slope formula, we find that the slope is (3 - 3) / (-4 - 2) = 0 / -6 = 0.

The slope formula is a key concept in coordinate geometry, helping us understand the steepness and direction of lines. This particular example highlights a special case where the line is horizontal, resulting in a slope of zero, even when the points are in different quadrants.
