The slope of a straight line equation is: y2-y1/x2-x1
Here is how to solve it. First, find the slope of the given line. To do this, solve the equation for "y". That will convert the equation to the slope-intercept form. From there, you can immediately read off the slope. Since parallel lines have the same slope, the line you are looking for will have the same slope. Now you need to use the point-slope form of the equation, with the given point, and the slope you just calculated. Finally, solve this equation for "y" to bring it into the requested slope-intercept form.
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
y = {slope}x + {y intercept}
what is the slope of the line that has the equation 4x+2y=12?
Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
An equation of a line requires two parameters. The slope, by itself, is not enough.
the slope is 0
As for example in the straight line equation of y=3x+5 the slope is 3 and the y intercept is 5
The equation for the slope of a line is y=mx+b
If it is the equation for a line, then it can be rearranged into the format y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.If it is not for a straight line, then the slope is changing with x, and the derivative of the function would find the slope at a particular x.
the slope formula is y=mx+b slope-intercept form of an equation of a line. where m=slope and b=the y-intercept
We know that the line passes through points (2, 2) and (0, 10) (since the y-intercept is 10).Using these two points, we can find the slope of the line,m = (10 - 2)/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = 4/-1 = -4.Now by using the slope, m = -4, and the y-intercept, 10, we can write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b which isy = -4x + 10.

A horizontal line has a slope of zero. The equation of a horizontal line is y = a.
If you have any expression that defines a line, you can find the slope of the line. After you have found the slope of the line, you can then write an expression describing the line in slope intercept form. You can't define a slope-intercept form for any nonlinear equation, because the slope is always* changing; there are often several intercepts as well.
