This is also known as change in y over change in x or rise over run For example if the points 1 -4 and -4 2 both lay on the same line the slope of that line equals 2 - -4 over -4 - 1 or 6 over -5. If the signs are the same you add and keep the sign. Class X and Y capacitors are also given a number to represent their impulse test rating.
First lets find the slope of the line through the points and.
Remember that slope is the change in the y-values over the change in the x-values or y2-y1 x2-x1. Slope and intercept meaning in context. If the signs are the same you add and keep the sign. First of all it offers two methods to solve the slope line equation as detailed here.
