If the two points are (2k, 3) and (1, k) with a slope of 2, then k is equal to 1. This is because slope is rise over run, meaning the differences of y over the differences of x. If you have (2,3) and (1,1), then the difference of the y-coordinates is 2, and the difference of the x-coordinates is 1. Seeing as 2/1 is equal to 2, you know that k=1 works. k=1

What is the slope in alegbra?
Slope is the characteristic of a line that gives the relationship between the position of one point on the line and the next point. If given two points it can be found using the formula y sub 2 - y sub 1 over x sub 2 - x sub 1. If you are given an equation in slope intercept form the slope is the value of m. If your are given an equation in standard form the slope is -a/b.In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline.
How do you sketch a line with a slope that is less than -5?
Choose a number that is less than -5; for example, -10 (or, if you mean "less in absolute value", for example -2), choose two or three points for that slope, then draw the line through those points.
The difference between undefined slope and zero slope is?
The slope of a line between Points 1 and 2 is defined as m = (Y2 - Y1) / (X2 - X1) where coordinates for Point 1 is (X1,Y1) and Point 2 is (X2,Y2). So if the value of Y2-Y1 = 0 then the Slope is zero. If the value of X2 - X1 = zero then the equation is undetermined because you can't solve an equation with a 0 value in the denominator. or m = (Y2 - Y1) / 0
How do you graph a line if given the equation in slope intercept form?
When you are working with y=mx+b, (x,y) is a coordinate on the line, m is the slope, and b is the y intercept. You simply plot the y intercept and then pick a random value for x or y and solve the equation. This gives you two points on the line that you can connect creating a continuous line on the plane.
Is y -7 and y 5 parallel perpendicular or neither?
Neither because the value of the x slope has not been given nor have proper straight line equations been given
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.
Find the value of y so that the line passing through 6 y and 7 5 has a slope of -3?
This question mathematically makes no sense. A line passing through any given point can have any slope at all; you need two points to uniquely determine a line (and therefore the slope of that line).
What is the slope of a line that decreases from left to right?
We know that its slope is negative, but without an equation or some points the line passes through we can't determine the actual value of the slope.

What is the slope of a line that passes through a and b?
The slope is[ (y-value of 'b') - (y-value of 'a') ] / [ (x-value of 'b') - (x-value of 'a') ]
How do you sketch a line with a slope that is less than -5?
Choose a number that is less than -5; for example, -10 (or, if you mean "less in absolute value", for example -2), choose two or three points for that slope, then draw the line through those points.
How do you find the value of a slope when given two point?
You use the point-slope formula. m= (x2-x1)/(y2-y1). So say the points are (5,2) and (9,4) you subtract 9-2, and 4-5 and divide that, getting -7 (which by the way is a huge slope).
Same value of the slope between any two points?
Questioning also is a good skill. It must be clear and precise to get the apt answer which will be useful to each and every one. With the nine words put in that way I guess that you mean the slope remains the same every where at all points in between two given points. Is that right? Then the curve in between the two points will be a straight line.
Does the value of the y-intercept depend on the slope of the line?
If you're given an existing point and the slope of the line, then yes - the y-intercept depends on the slope.
A line has a slope of 7 and includes the points ( - 72) and ( - 6g). What is the value of g?
The answer is g = 9.
What is the coefficient for x in a slope intercept equation?
The slope intercept form is found by using this formula: y=mx+b. so the coefficient of x is the slope or 'm'. You can find the slope using this formula: y2-y1/x2-x1 wherein the first y is the y value of your coordinate (x,y) and the y2 is the second y value of the coordinate (x,y) The same applies to the x values. The first x value is the first part of your ordered pair ((x),y)..the x part. The second x value is the other 'part' of the ordered pair given to you...or ((x),y). If you're only given one x,y value, then you will need another formula y-y1=m(x-x1) and to find the slope. You only need fill in one of the values, the x1 and y1 values with your given point. You will almost always be given a slope and a point, or a graph which you can figure out the slope for, or two points.
Does a vertical line have a slope of 0?
No. A horizontal line has a slope of 0. A vertical line has an undefined slope. Let's say you have a vertical line with the points (3,-2) and (3,4). The slope is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2) = (-2-4)/(3-3) = -6/0 = undefined. Notice that x is the same for both points. A line in which all points have the same value for x is a vertical line and as such has an undefined slope.
