Learn how to write the slope formula from scratch and how to apply it to find the slope of a line from two points.

Learn how to write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) for the line with a slope of -3/4 that goes through the point (0,8). We identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) to create our …

Slope tells us how steep a line is. It's like measuring how quickly a hill goes up or down. We find the slope by seeing how much we go up or down (vertical change) for each step to the right …

Learn about the slope-intercept form of two-variable linear equations, and how to interpret it to find the slope and y-intercept of their line.

Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m (x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). We can rewrite an equation in point …

Formula: Slope = The change in y divided by the change in x. So let's say that you were trying to find the slope of a line based off the points (9, 5) and (5, 3).

When an equation is written in this form, m gives the slope of the line and (a, b) is a point the line passes through. This form is derived from the slope formula. Want to learn more about point …

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m (x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). Watch this video to learn more about it …

Given two points on a line, we can write an equation for that line by finding the slope between those points, then solving for the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation y=mx+b.
