Make the slope into a fraction. The numerator (top) is the rise - add it to the y. The denominator - bottom - is the run; add it to the x. This is your new point. Repeat as often as you wish, you can also subtract both numbers instead of adding.
Make a graph, the points should all line up.

How do you differentiate and find the tangent?
When you differentiate a function, you find the slope of the function. The slope is also known as the tangent. The slope of a line, given one point, and a second point relative to the first point, but with x different, is given as delta y over delta x. Differentiation is simply taking the limit of the slope, i.e. where delta x approaches zero.
What is a slope in coordinate axes?
To put it in the simplest form, a slope in a co-ordinate system is the measurement of a line. In finding the slope of a given line, you can describe and calculate its incline or steepness. To find the slope of any line, a given and proper formula should be followed: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) m being the slope of the line (x2, y2) being the co-ordinates of the second point on the line (x1, y1) being the co-ordinates of the first point on the given line. Note that 'a' can also represent the slope.
What is the point-slope equation of the line with slope that goes through the point (-3 5) in point slope equation?
That will depend on the value of the slope which has not been given.
Can two lines with a negative slope be perpendicular?
NoIf the slope of a given line is x, than the slope of the line perpendicular to the first line is 1/-x. So if the first slope is negative, the second will be positive, and vice versa.
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m

How do you find the height of a slope given two points?
To find the slope (steepness, not height) of a line when given two points, do the following: Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1, y1) is one point, and (x2,y2) is the second point.
Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (6, 4) and (2, 3)?
Slope can be calculated with the slope formula. This formula is: m (slope) = second y point - first y point / second x point - first x point Applying this formula to this problem, you get: 3-4/2-6 = -1/-4 = 1/4 The slope of (6,4) and (2,3) is 1/4.

How do you find an equation with a given slope?
Use point-slope formula

NoIf the slope of a given line is x, than the slope of the line perpendicular to the first line is 1/-x. So if the first slope is negative, the second will be positive, and vice versa.
How do you write anequation in point slope form?
Given a point P(a,b) and slope m, the point slope equation is (y - b)/(x - a) = m
Writing an equation given a slope and a point?
If the slope m is given at a point (xo, yo) of a line, then the equation of the line is given by: y - yo = m(x - xo)
What is an equation in point-slope form of the line having the given slope that contains the given point.?
The straight line equation is: y = mx+c whereas m is the slope and c is the y intercept
What is a slope of a graph?
Did you mean the slope of a line/parabola/etc.? A slope, in its simplest terms, is how much a line angles away from the horizontal. It describes the steepness, sense, and incline of a line.Finding the slope of a line requires two distinct point ON a line. It's given by the equation: a = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where a is the slope, (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the first point, and (x2,y2) the coordinates of the second point. An equation for a straight line is usually represented as y = a*x + b; you could extract the slope by simply looking at the given values of a (the slope).Finding the slope of a curve (parabola, etc.) is taken at the tangent point. As you move along the curve, the slope changes (i.e the slope is NOT constant). The slope of a curve can be found by taking the derivative of the function that defines the curve. After derivation, you just plug in the values of x at where you want to find the slope at.
