Step 2: Match Coordinates to Formula

Topic

Linear Functions

Description

This image continues the series, focusing on Step 2 of using the slope formula: "Match Coordinates to Formula." It demonstrates how to correctly assign the chosen coordinates to the variables in the slope formula.

Teachers can explain this step by saying: "Now that we've identified our points, we need to match them to our formula. Remember, the slope formula is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Let's decide which point will be (x1, y1) and which will be (x2, y2). Does it matter which is which? Why or why not?"
