Need two sets of points, (X1, Y1) (X2, Y2)

slope(m) = Y2 - Y1/X2 - X1

rise over run

Properties of a slope?

The slope of a line can be determined by examining the graph; only one line through a point has a particular slope.


What is the difference between undefined slope and no slope?

Undefined slope is when a line is exactly on the y-axis, for reasons unknown, the slope of a line on the y-axis cannot be determined, so therefore it it "undefined." A line with no slope is a line with a slope of zero. In order for a line to have a slope of zero, it must be directly on the x-axis, meaning it is horizontal. Horizontal lines are straight and have no slope

Does a steep line always have a negative slope?

A line doesn't have a negative slope if it's steep or not. Possitive and negative slope is determined by the way it goes up or down. When you look at a line from the left to the right, if it gets higher as you get closer to the right, then it has a positive slope. On the other hand, if you also look at it from left to right and the line goes down as it nears the right side, it has a negative slope. If the line is horizontal, it has a slope of 0. If the line is vertical, it has no slope.

To ascertain the slope of a line two sets of coordinates are required or other information that enables the slope to be determined. Without this extra information an answer to this question cannot be provided.

In eighth grade math how do you determine the scope of line as positive negative zero or undefined?

Assuming you mean the slope of a line, not the scope, the slope of a line is determined by its rise over its run. Take 2 points on the line (x1,y1), (x2,y2) and find the slope by plugging it into this equation: (x1-x2)/(y1-y2). If the answer is positive, the slope is positive, if the answer is negative, the slope is negative, if the answer is zero, the slope is zero, and if the answer is undefined (i.e. dividing by zero), your slope is undeifined.


What is The slope of a line is determined by using?

The slope of a line is determined using the coordinates of at least 2 points on the line. If you have 2 points (A, B) and (C, D), the slope of the line can be determined using the formula (B - D) / (A - C) or (D - B) / (C - A) which is essentially the difference of the y-coordinates divided by the difference of the x - coordinates. Alternately, you could think of it as "rise over run", the increase in height (change in y) between the two points over the horizontal distance traveled (change in x).


Find the slope of the line determined by this equation. 3x 4y - 2?

The formula to find the slope of a line is, run over rise in other words, Y2 - Y1 over X2 - X1 then u simplify.


What is the difference between a line with a slope of zero and no slope?

A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
