Georgiy Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Can someone help me with solving this question. Find the slope of points(2,2) and (3,5) please as I don't really get it please
studiot Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 I'm sure the question does not say exactly that. So post the whole question and anything you have done with it. Have you done any trigonometry? Or can you tell me the difference in x coordinates and y coordinates between the points?
Georgiy Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) x goes first and then y Edited October 4, 2019 by Georgiy

Have you drawn a plot with the two points and drawn in the (straight) line between them? If we call the points 1 and 2 with coordinates (x1 , y1) and (x2, y2) What is (y2 - y1) ? What is (x2 - x1) ?

Georgiy Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 But I think I need a formula not piloting

Sensei Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) 1) take checkered paper 2) pick up some random points x1,y1 and x2,y2 (integers to have easier the next step) 3) draw line passing through these points (single cell of checkered paper is 1x1 in x and y units) 4) think I think that visualization of this is essential to understanding what equation should be made..

Trying to learn lots of formulae is likely to lead you into difficulty in the long run. Understanding what you are doing is far better. Note: I am just about to apologise to another member in another thread for not reading his post properly and therefore not understanding and thus saying something silly and using the wrong formula. 2
Country Boy Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 You need to learn definitions and basic concepts before you can understand formulas! In your first post you ask for "slope of points(2,2) and (3,5)". Points don't have a slope! That was one reason the first response asked you to state whole problem. Most likely you were asked to "find the slope of the line through points (2, 2) and (3,5)". Whoever gave you this problem clearly expects you to know what the word "slope" means here! What definition of "slope of a line" were you given?
