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.
