Question

I need to know how to find the slope of a straight line. Any answers?

Answer 1

use a sextant?

Answer 2

y=mx+c
where as m is the slope

Answer 3

depends on what your given

Answer 4

To find the slope of any line pick two points on the line \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\).\[\text{slope} =\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\]

Answer 5

if you could establish a horizontal and vertical set of planes with which to measure against; you could define the slope as the change in rise with respect to the change in run

Answer 6

if you know its angle from the horizon you could define the slope as the tangent
