I assume your are asking how to calculate the slope of a line. Pick two points: (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The slope is: (y2-y1) / (x2-x1). This is also referred to as rise over run, or change in y over change in x. Be sure to simplify the fraction all the way!

What is college algebra slopes?

Slope intercept form. It's not just college algebra, it's algebra. It defines the slope of well... a slope. Y=mx+b. M in the equation is the slope and b is always the y-intercept. So if you want to find the slope of a line on a graph, this would most likely be the most common equation in algebra to find it.

What does slope mean in algebra?

Slope in algebra refers to the rate of change of a function at a given point. This can be used in physics, where on a graph that shows the change in velocity, the value of the slope is equal to the acceleration at that moment in time.

What is the slope in algebra?

Slope is the amount that y increases/decreases by when x increases by one. If you have an slope-intercept equation of y=mx=b, your slope is m. For example, in the equation, y=3x+14, your slope is 3.
