how do u find the slope of a line
Put the line in slope-intercept form,
y = mx + b
m = slope, b = y-intercept
To find the slope of a line, you can use the formula:
slope = (change in y-coordinates) / (change in x-coordinates)
Here's how you can find the slope:
1. Identify two points on the line. Let's call them (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
2. Determine the change in the y-coordinates by subtracting y1 from y2: (y2 - y1).
3. Determine the change in the x-coordinates by subtracting x1 from x2: (x2 - x1).
4. Divide the change in the y-coordinates by the change in the x-coordinates to calculate the slope.
slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
The resulting value will be the slope of the line.
