Find the slope
Find the slope
Solution
To find the slope of a line, you generally need two points on the line. If you have two points, say and , the formula for the slope is:
Do you have two points or an equation of the line?
Let me know if you'd like more details or if you have any other questions. Here are five follow-up questions for deeper understanding:
- How do you calculate the slope from the equation of a line in slope-intercept form?
- How does the slope of a vertical line differ from that of a horizontal line?
- Can you find the slope from a graph directly?
- What is the relationship between the slope and the rate of change?
- How does the slope relate to parallel and perpendicular lines?
Tip: The slope of a line tells you how steep it is and the direction in which it rises or falls.
