QuestionCan you do this without a graph, like when they give you 2 coordinates?Emma HanCommunity AnswerYes you can. The graph is only there to help you. You can only find the gradient if they give you 2 points.

QuestionHow do you compute slope with (-6,3) and (2,9)?GB742Top AnswererUse the formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). In this example: (9 - 3)/(2 - -6) = (6)/(8). Therefore, the slope of the line connecting (-6,3) and (2,9) is 6/8.

QuestionHow do you determine the slope from two points when all the numbers are negative?GB742Top AnswererYou can do this as you would if the numbers were positive using the 'rise over run' formula m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1). For example, if point A has the coordinates (-8, -26) and point B has the coordinates (-2, -58): (-58 - -26)/(-2 - -8) = (-32)/(6) = -32/6, therefore, the slope of the line connecting A and B is -32/6.
