how do you find slope?
It depends on what you have: point, an equation, or a graph.

could you give me another link please? :)

To find the slope of a line, you need to know the coordinates of two points on the line. Let's call the coordinates of the first point (x1, y1) and the coordinates of the second point (x2, y2).
The slope of a line is given by the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinate) / (change in x-coordinate)
Or, mathematically:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
Let's say you have the following points: Point 1 (2, 5) and Point 2 (6, 9).
1. Identify the x and y coordinates of each point:
Point 1: x1 = 2, y1 = 5
Point 2: x2 = 6, y2 = 9
2. Plug the values into the slope formula:
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
slope = (9 - 5) / (6 - 2)
slope = 4 / 4
slope = 1
Therefore, the slope of the line passing through the two points is 1.
