The simplest way is to convert the equation into slope-intercept form

y=Mx+B

M is the slope and B is the y-intercept

If you are given two points (X,Y) and (x,y) then you can use the following formula formula

M=(Y-y)/(X-x)

Other ways are possible and sometimes easier, but you will almost always be able to use these two

What does it mean to describe a plot on a coordinate plane?

It means to put the coordinates you were given on the coordinate plane. Ex. (-3,2) you find it the on the coordinate plane and then you plot it or graph it


Which expression is used to find the slope of a line?

The steepness of a line can be measured as the slope of a line. The letter 'm' is used to denote the slope and it can be expressed as m= (y coordinate of A- y coordinate of B)/ (x coordinate of A- x coordinate of B). A and B are two points on the line.

How do you calculate slope in math or science?

Slope is the rise over the run, the distance up and down, divided by the distance side to side. aka y=mx+b We find math slope using some particular slope formula. by the help of this formula we can find math solutions.


How do you find the slope at one point?

To find the slope, you must have at least two points, not one. You cannot find the slope at one point, because coordinate points do not have slopes - lines have slopes.

According to the question, you HAVE the point!


How do you graph a point on the coordinate plane?

well, you find the two cooridinates on the plane and then graph them! KINDA EASY!


How can you go between tables and graphs and equations?

from a table to a graph just graph x and y (on a coordinate plane) from table to equation find the slope of the line and the y intercept. your equation should be in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept


How do you find the slope of a line on a coordinate plane?

Rise over run for instance in y=3x+6 the 3 is the same as 3/1 so you go 3 up and 1 over. the 6 is the intercept


How do you Find derivative to get the slope?

the deivative of a function is the gradient, at a point if you can sub in the x coordinate for that point
