M= Slope
M=(Y1-Y2)/(X1-X2)
If you have two points on a graph, say (3,7) and (2,5), then the "Y" variable would be the second number in each point and the "X" variable is the first number.
For example:
M= (7-5)/(3-2)
M=2/1
M=2, so the slope of a line between points (3,7) and (2,5) is 2.
Note you can pick either point to be point "1" or "2":
(5-7)/(2-3) = (-2)/(-1) = 2, as well.

Find the slope of the line containing points 3 4 and -2 4?
how to find the slope of the line between the two points (-1,2) and (3, -6). can you plaese show how
What is the slope of the line formed by these two points 2 3 and 4 2?
To find the slope we need to divide the difference in rise between these two points by the difference in run between them. The difference in rise equals: 3-2 = 1. The difference in run between these points equals: 2-4 = -2.Now we just divide 1/-2 and we get the slope of the line formed by these two points: -0.5
Find the slope of the line passing through the points -4 4 and 4 4?
Since the line is horizontal, the slope is zero.
Find the equation of the line containing the two points shown?
what is the slope of the line containing points (5-,-2) and (-5,3)? 2
How do you find the slope of a line passing through a given pair of points?
To find the slope of a line passing through a given pair of points is found by using the point slope formula. Y(2)-Y(1) over x(2) -x(1).
