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
