To find the slope (steepness, not height) of a line when given two points, do the following: Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1, y1) is one point, and (x2,y2) is the second point.
Use the equation; y=mx+b where m is the slope Use your 2 points as y and b (intercept)
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 containing points (5-,-2) and (-5,3)? 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
