Example Question #99 : How To Find Slope Of A Line

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following two points:

(4, 10) and (0, 10)

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{7}$

$\frac{3}{5}$

$\text{Undefined}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that points are written in the format:

(x,y)

For the given points,

$\text{Slope}=\frac{10-10}{0-4}$

Simplify.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{0}{-4}$

Reduce.

$\text{Slope}=0$

Example Question #162 : Slope And Line Equations

Find the slope of the line that passes through the following two points:

(9, 9) and (9, -1)

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{9}$

$\text{Undefined}$

Correct answer:

$\text{Undefined}$

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that points are written in the format:

(x,y)

For the given points,

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-1-9}{9-9}$

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-10}{0}$

Since you cannot divide by zero, the slope of this line is undefined.

$\text{Undefined}$

$-\frac{19}{10}$

Correct answer:

$\text{Undefined}$

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that points are written in the format:

(x,y)

For the given points,

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that points are written in the format:

(x,y)

For the given points,

$\text{Slope}=\frac{1-1}{0-7}$

$\text{Slope}=\frac{0}{-7}$

Simplify.

$\text{Slope}=0$

$-\frac{3}{8}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2}{7}$

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that points are written in the format:

(x,y)

For the given points,

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-2-2}{-2-12}$

Remember that subtracting a positive number from a negative number is the same as adding a negative number.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-2+(-2)}{-2+(-12)}$

Simplify.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-4}{-14}$

Reduce.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{2}{7}$

$\frac{11}{6}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using the formula:

$\text{Slope}=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Remember that points are written in the format:

(x,y)

For the given points,

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-4-10}{-2-(-1)}$

Remember that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-4-10}{-2+1}$

Simplify.

$\text{Slope}=\frac{-14}{-1}$

Reduce.

$\text{Slope}=14$
