Slope and Slop Intercept Form

Slope Equation:
M= Rise/Run = Y2 - Y1 / X2 - X1

Slope Intercept Form =
Y = MX + B

  1. I think you should have an example of how to find the slope, so I made one myself. :]

    Find the slope of a line with points: (4,-3) and (-5,4).
    So like Noa said you do Y2-Y1 over X2-X1. The first step is plugging in the correct coordinates.
    4-(-3) over -5-4 would equal:
    7 over -9 and that is your slope! you go up seven and to the left nine because it is negative. The end, hope that helps more.
