    Study Notes

    Slope Calculation from Points

    • Slope (m) measures the steepness of a line connecting two points.
    • Formula for slope: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
    • Example points: (10, -1) and (-8, 6).
    • Substitute the coordinates in the formula to find the slope.

    Example with Given Points

    • Points labeled as (x1, y1) = (0, -2) and (x2, y2) = (3, 4).
    • Calculation: m = (4 - (-2)) / (3 - 0) = 6 / 3 = 2.

    Slope Calculation from Tables

    • Slope can also be determined from a table of values.
    • Example table for ski rentals:
      • Shows cost associated with varying numbers of people.
      • Slope derived from changes in cost relative to the number of people.
    • Example table for driving distance:
      • Displays miles driven over different time intervals.
      • Slope represents miles per hour based on time and distance data.

    Key Concepts in Calculating Slope from Tables

    • Identifying consistent increments in table values.
    • Slope determination from given cost per person in the ski rental example.
    • Per-hour travel rate derived from distance and time in the driving distance example.
    • The significance of understanding slope in practical contexts like rental costs and travel distances.
