mrnood · Answer

all straight lines have an equation in the form

y = mx + b
yours is
y = 2x -7

the value equivalent to m is the slope

anonymous · Answer

When finding the slope, use the equation: Y1-Y2 over x2-x1 :)

chunkymonkay · Answer

thank you :)

mrnood · Answer

@Chunkymonkay when finding the slope use the equation I gave you in this case.

the number in the same place as "m" IS the answer to your question, with no calculation

mrnood · Answer

@Kit_Kat_Nat_<3 
your method is only useful if you are given 2 points on the line - which in this case you are not.

anonymous · Answer

That is why you have to find the x and y intercepts. Simple! :) To find the x intercept make y zero, and vice-versa for Y intercept!

chunkymonkay · Answer

is the slope -2?

mrnood · Answer

You do not need to doi ANY such stuff

in an equation of form y=mx+b (such as y= 2x-7) then slope is m

mrnood · Answer

look at your equation : what is the number in front of the x?

that is the slope

anonymous · Answer

The slope is 2. :-)

or is it? @Chunkymonkay  YOU decide!
