Learn how to write the slope formula from scratch and how to apply it to find the slope of a line from two points.

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

Formula: Slope = The change in y divided by the change in x. So let's say that you were trying to find the slope of a line based off the points (9, 5) and (5, 3).

Worked examples of finding the slope of a line given its equation, using many forms of equations.

When we have a linear equation in point-slope form, we can quickly find the slope of the corresponding line and a point it passes through. This also allows us to graph it.

Learn about the slope-intercept form of two-variable linear equations, and how to interpret it to find the slope and y-intercept of their line.

Slope tells us how steep a line is. It's like measuring how quickly a hill goes up or down. We find the slope by seeing how much we go up or down (vertical change) for each step to the right (horizontal …

Learn how to find the slope-intercept equation of a line from two points on that line. If you haven't read it yet, you might want to start with our introduction to slope-intercept form.

- The slope-intercept equation of a line is given by: y = mx + b - In this equation, m represents the slope of the line, and represents the y-intercept (the point where the line crosses the y-axis).

Walk through a graphical explanation of how to find the slope from two points and what it means. We can draw a line through any two points on the coordinate plane. Let's take the points (3, 2) and (5, 8) …
