Pick two points on the line as far away form each other as possible, (x1, y1), and x2,y2).
Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
You can also use slope-intercept method with the formula y = mx + b,
where x and y make up a point on the line, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept. Let's say you have a point (7,4), and a y-intercept of 6. Plug the known values into the equation: 4 = (m)(7) + 6, and solve for m.
(m)(7) = -4 + 6
(m)(7) = 2
(m)/(7) = 2/7
m = 2/7

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
If the slope of a line is 13 what is the slope of a line parallel to it?
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the second line is also 13.
What is the slope of horizontal line?
The slope of a horizontal line is zero. That's because the slope measures how steep the line is, and a flat line is not steep at all and therefore has no slope.

When a graph make a horizontal line what is it?
What do you mean? As in if you connect two points that make a horizontal line? Are you trying to figure out the Slope? The slope of a horizontal line is 0. And the slope of a vertical line is undifined. If that's what you were asking. Or if you were asking plainly what it is when that happens, it's just a horizontal line.
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.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to a line whose slope is 3?
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
What is the slope of a line that lies perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1 5?
The line perpendicular to a line with a slope of 1/5 has a slope of -5.
What do you need to use the point slope formula?
The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.The slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line.
What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular?
If the line has a slope of 2, then the perpendicular line has a slope of -1/2. The slope of a perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal. Another example would be if the slope of a line is -1/4, then the slope of the perpendicular is 4.
If the slope of the green line is -3 what is the slope of the red line?
The lines below are perpendicular. If the slope of the green line is -1, what is the slope of the red line?
The slope of a line is 2 3 what is the slope of a line that is parallel to it?
if the slope of a line is 2/3, then the slope of a parallel line would be 2/3.
If the slope of a line is 13 what is the slope of a line parallel to it?
Parallel lines have the same slope. The slope of the second line is also 13.
A horizontal line has an undefined slope?
No, the slope of a horizontal line is 0. The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
What is the slope of a line parallel to a line with slope -2?
For two lines to be parallel they must have the same slope. A line parallel to a line with slope -2 would have a slope of -2.
