Calculate the slope as (difference of y-coordinates) / (difference of x-coordinates).
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form

Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you have a line with slope = 2, for example, and another line is parallel to the first line, it will also have slope = 2.
The slope of a line is determined using the coordinates of at least 2 points on the line. If you have 2 points (A, B) and (C, D), the slope of the line can be determined using the formula (B - D) / (A - C) or (D - B) / (C - A) which is essentially the difference of the y-coordinates divided by the difference of the x - coordinates. Alternately, you could think of it as "rise over run", the increase in height (change in y) between the two points over the horizontal distance traveled (change in x).
Calculate the slope as (difference of y-coordinates) / (difference of x-coordinates).
if a line has a slope of -2 and a point on the line has coordinates of (3, -5) write an equation for the line in point slope form
Points: (-14, 3) and (2, -5) Slope: -1/2
Points: (6, -7) and (5, -9) Slope: 2
When the slope is undefined, you know the line has to be vertical. Vertical lines only have an x in their equations. When you have the coordinates (2,4) with a vertical line, the equation for the slope intercept AND standard form would be the same thing: x=2

Two coordinates are needed to work out the slope of the line.

Slope = (1 - 4)/(3 - 1) = -3/2 = -1.5
Using any two points, calculate the differences in the Y and the X coordinates. Then take the difference between the Y and divide it by the difference in the X. Example: Points (1,3) and (4,9) are on a line. Determine the slope of the line. X coordinates: 1 and 4. 4-1 = 3 Y coordinates: 3 and 9 9-3 = 6 Slope = Y/X = 6/3 = 2 The slope is 2
If you mean points of: (5, 0) and (6, 2) then the slope works out as 2
