Question

how do you find the slope of a line?

Answer 1

do you know what rise over run is

Answer 2

y=mx+b
m is the slope

Answer 3

but it gave me like a graph

Answer 4

you use rise over run

Answer 5

Rules for Calculating the Slope of a Line

Find two points on the line.

Count the rise (How many units do you count up or down to get from one point to the next?) Record this number as your numerator.

Count the run (How many units do you count left or right to get to the point?) Record this number as your denominator.

Simplify your fraction if possible.

Answer 6

set the quation using two points p(x1,y1) p(x2,y2)
(y-y1)/(x-x1)=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer 7

take (2,1) and (0,-3) as points

Answer 8

2 is the slope

Answer 9
