Let P = (xp, yp) and Q = (xq, yq) by any two distinct points on the line.
If xp = xq then the slope is infinite.
Otherwise, it is (yq - yp)/(xq - xp) = (yp - yq)/(xp - xq)

Determine the slope of the line perpendicular to the line whose slope is 5?
Negative 0.2
What can you determine about the steepness of a line in terms of its slope?
Its steepness is the absolute value of its slope.
What is the slope of the line that contains the point (14)?
A single point cannot determine the slope of a straight line. It can, therefore, have any slope at all.
How do you determine the slope of a line when you are given two points?
Slope = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
Determine the slope of the line that passes through the points?
Where are the points!

What is the slope of the line containing (-2 5)?
Another coordinate is needed to determine the slope of the line.

What is the slope of the line containing (-25)?
If you mean (-2, 5) then another coordinate is needed in order to determine the slope of the line
What is the slope for -23?
Two or more coordinates are needed to determine the slope of a line
How do you determine the slope of a line when you are given two points?

What is the slope of a line that decreases from left to right?
We know that its slope is negative, but without an equation or some points the line passes through we can't determine the actual value of the slope.

How might you use a slope of a line to determine the unit rate?
he he he... you dont :)
How do you determine a slope from a graph?
Slope = (vertical change)/(horizontal change), commonly referred to as rise/run. If the graph is a straight line, then you can count squares or measure how much change in vertical, over a specified change in horizontal. If it is a curve, then you need to have a tangent line (a line that touches the curve at a specific point and has the same slope as the line), then you can determine the slope of that line using the method described, above.
