No slope is undefined i.e. a vertical line slope of 0 is a horizontal line... i believe...
take two ordered pairs. then do difference of y's divided by difference of x's and that is your slope
Points: (6, -7) and (5, -9) Slope: 2
It is the difference in the abscissae of the points divided by the difference in their ordinates, provided the latter is not zero. Otherwise, the slope is infinite.
The rise is the difference in y coordinates for a line and the run is the difference in x coordinates. For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.The slope is the "rise over the run", dividing the y difference by the x difference. The formula is :.Y2- Y1. _____.X2 -X1
To get the slope, calculate (difference of y-coordinates) / (difference of x-coordinates).

A line with slope of zero is horizontal. A line with no slope is vertical because slope is undefined on a vertical line.
take two ordered pairs. then do difference of y's divided by difference of x's and that is your slope
Points: (5, -3) and (8, -5)Slope: -2/3
Points: (6, -7) and (5, -9) Slope: 2
Slope is blah. Rate of change is blah.
The slope of a line that passes through two points is (difference in y) / (difference in x).
Calculate the slope as (difference of y-coordinates) / (difference of x-coordinates).

Slope refers to the steepness of a line. Mathematically, it can be defined as: slope = (difference in y-coordinates) / (difference in x-coordinates). This should be measured along a fairly short distance, since the actual slope can be different at different points.
