The slope of a linear equation can be found with the formula. From this form I will determine the slope of this line. To find the slope of an equation given in ymxb balance the equation until y is by itself without any constants.
This gives us 10 - 8-2 - 3.
Thus it is possible to calculate the slope of a straight line denoted by the symbol m when we know at least two points where the line passes through. Input the values into the formula. M Y 2 Y 1 X 2 X 1 The answer M is the slope of the line. 12 is the y intercept b and -1 is the slope m and X is just there because its supposed to be.
