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).
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 -5 3 and 3 3?
Two points don't have a slope. But the line between them does. The line between the points (-5, 3) and (3, 3) has a slope of zero.
How do I find the slope of a line?
you look at the line and see if there are any direct points on the line the slope formula
How do you find the slope of a line from its graph what is the formula for m?
The slope of a line is the rise divided by the run. In other terms, if, X = the horizontal distance between two points on a line and Y = the vertical distance between the same points, then m = Y/X
How do i find the slope of a graphed line?
you look at the line and see if there are any direct points on the line the slope formula
What is the slope of the line passing through points a 5 4?
Another set of points are needed to find the slope.
What is the equation to find the slope between two points?
If our two points were (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). We'd remember slope is rise over run. We'd have (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plug in your numbers, and you would have the slope of the line between these two points.
Find the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points.(34,5),(54,2)?
To find the slope of a line, which is m, you can take the difference between the y-values and divide it by the different between the x-values of the two points, in this case are (34,5) and (54,2). So, your slope is equal to (2-5)/(54-34)=-3/20
If three points are given then how do you prove that they are collinear?
0). Considering any TWO points, you can calculate the slope of the line between them like this: Slope = (difference between the y-values of the two points) divided by (difference between the x-values of the two points). Use this technique to examine your THREE points, like this: 1). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-2 and Point-1. 2). Calculate the slope of the line between Point-3 and Point-1. 3). If the two slopes are equal, then the three points all lie on the same line.
When the rate of change between any two points on a line is negative What is the slope of the line?
No
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 containing the points 6 4 and 6 8?
The slope for these two points is undefined, or straight up.
