How do you find slope? (I don't really understand it)

The slope can be found if you have 2 points on the line.

Like (4,5) and (7, 10) in the form (x.y)

slope = m = (y2 -y1) divided by (x2-x1)

m = (10-5) /(7 -4) = 5/ 3

as you move your eye from left to right

if the curve moves up
the slope is positive.
slope = rise/run
on a road or on your graph paper.
However on your graph paper, slope is only positive if the rise up happens as you move to the right (East or +x direection)
For any two points on the line.
slope = (Y2-Y1) / (X2 - X1)

Yes, like John said :)

Thank you

I think this helped-

Good :)

To find the slope of a line, you can use the formula:

slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)

Here's a step-by-step explanation on finding slope:

1. Choose two points on the line. Let's call them (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). These points could be any two points on the line.

2. Determine the difference between the y-coordinates of these two points. This is the vertical change or the "rise" of the line. Let's call this difference "(y2 - y1)".

3. Determine the difference between the x-coordinates of the two points. This is the horizontal change or the "run" of the line. Let's call this difference "(x2 - x1)".

4. Divide the vertical change (y2 - y1) by the horizontal change (x2 - x1). This is the slope of the line.

5. Simplify your answer if possible. For example, if your slope is a fraction, you may need to reduce it to its simplest form.

Remember, the slope represents how steep the line is. If the slope is positive, the line is going upwards from left to right. If the slope is negative, the line is going downwards from left to right. If the slope is zero, the line is horizontal, and if the slope is undefined, the line is vertical.
