See how its done with this free video math lesson. To find the slope of the line pick two points on the line. The Slope of this line 3 3 1 So the Slope is equal to 1 The Slope of this line 4 2 2 The line is steeper and so the Slope is larger.
When finding the slope you should find the change in y-values.
We get slope by dividing the diffference of coordinates on the vertical axis y by the difference of the coordinates on the horizontal axis x. The Slope of this line 3 3 1 So the Slope is equal to 1 The Slope of this line 4 2 2 The line is steeper and so the Slope is larger. Slope of a Horizontal Line The slope of a horizontal line y b y b is 0. We can define a slope m as a measure of how steep a line is.
