If: x-5/3--6 = 1/3 then x = 8
Check: 8-5/3--6 = 1/3

slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
If the algebraic equation is linear, in the form y = mx + b, the slope is simply m; the difference in y of any 2 points divided by the difference in x of those points (rise over run). If the equation is non-linear, the slope is the first derivative of that equation, from calculus. You woul need to know calculus to solve in this case. The slope will vary from point to point, unlike the linear case, where slope is constant.
If our two points were (x1,y1) and (x2,y2). We'd remember slope is rise over run. We'd have (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plug in your numbers, and you would have the slope of the line between these two points.
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
The average slope on a topographic map is calculated by dividing the total rise or fall of the terrain by the horizontal distance between two points. It represents the rate of change in elevation over a given distance. A steep slope would have a higher average slope value while a gentle slope would have a lower value.
Slope is the characteristic of a line that gives the relationship between the position of one point on the line and the next point. If given two points it can be found using the formula y sub 2 - y sub 1 over x sub 2 - x sub 1. If you are given an equation in slope intercept form the slope is the value of m. If your are given an equation in standard form the slope is -a/b.In mathematics, the slope or gradient of a line describes its steepness, incline, or grade. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline.

slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
By using the rise over run formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) This means you need two points on the line in order to solve for the slope. You take the y-value for the second point and then subtract the y-value from the initial point. Then divide that by the x-value of the second point minus the x-value from the initial point.
If the algebraic equation is linear, in the form y = mx + b, the slope is simply m; the difference in y of any 2 points divided by the difference in x of those points (rise over run).

The slope is the rise/over run of a line. The equation of a line is usually written in the form y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, you can take two points on a line, find how much the line goes up (or down) between the two, and divide it by how much the lines moves to the right. Usually the slope is left in the simplest fraction form.
In chemistry, the slope of a graph represents a rate of change. To find the slope of a graph, choose two points on the line and calculate the change in y divided by the change in x (rise over run). This will give you the slope of the line.
y = 1/3x-4 in slope intercept form
Slope = 7--3 over 0-8 = -5/4
Rise over run gives you slope, not points
