How would I calculate a slope given two points and an example given?
Use the formula m for slope and set that equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). An example problem given points(1,4),(5,6). Notice in point it is shown as (x,y) as a plot so set y2=6 y1=4 x2=5 and x1=1. Calculating and simplifying it would be 1/2.
