The slope of a horizontal line is zero. It has a slope, but slope = 0 and this makes it different from a vertical line which has a slope that is undefined because you cannot divide 0 over 0 which is how much a vertical line rises and runs.Ways to find slope:(y2-y1)/(x2-x1 )orrise/run
Since the line is horizontal, the slope is zero.
how to find the slope of the line between the two points (-1,2) and (3, -6). can you plaese show how
Slope of a line = m slope of perpendicular line = -1/m
The slope of a straight line equation is: y2-y1/x2-x1
Without the inclusion of an equality sign and not knowing the plus or minus values of the given terms it can't be considered to be a straight line equation
You can write it either in standard form (ax + by = c) or in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)
If the slope of a line is m then the slope of an altitude to that line is -1/m.
Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you know the slope of a line in question, or you can calculate it, then you know the slope of any line parallel to that line.
We know that the line passes through points (2, 2) and (0, 10) (since the y-intercept is 10).Using these two points, we can find the slope of the line,m = (10 - 2)/(0 - 2) = 8/-2 = 4/-1 = -4.Now by using the slope, m = -4, and the y-intercept, 10, we can write the equation of the line in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b which isy = -4x + 10.
The slope of both lines will be the same.
the slope of a line = the Change in Y divided by the Change in X
you look at the line and see if there are any direct points on the line the slope formula
Why do we need to find the slope of a line? The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time. If we find the slope we can find the rate of change over that period.Why do we need to find the slope of a line?The slope of a line tells us how something changes over time.

Line a is parallel to line b, m, and . Find .
To find the slope of a perpendicular line, take the negative reciprocal of the slope of the given line. (Flip the top and bottom of the fraction and change the sign.) The slope of 3 can be written as 3/1. The slope of a line that is perpendicular is -1/3.
