What is the formula for slope?

Answer 1

1.) y=mx + b

this formula is slope intercept

2.) m=y2-y1

--------

x2-x1

slope formula, the numbers mean that you take the second point on the y-axis and subract it from the 1st y point. Then you subract the second x pnt and the first x point. After that you divide the y by the x.

Example:(4,2) (8,6) are your points

6 is your y2 and 2 is your y1. then 8 is x2 and 4 is the x1. so that means you subtract 6-2 and 8-4 which will give you 4 and 4. Lastly you divide the two numbers...4/4=1. so you slope of those two points would be 1

Answer 2

slope intercept form (which I'm guessing you're talking about) is y=mx+b. The slope is the mx part. The intercept is b. All slopes are different.
