Worked examples of finding the slope of a line given its equation, using many forms of equations.

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 (horizontal …

Learn how to calculate the slope of the line in a graph by finding the change in y and the change in x. Created by Sal Khan and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education.

Walk through a graphical explanation of how to find the slope from two points and what it means.

The slope, or steepness, of a line is found by dividing the vertical change (rise) by the horizontal change (run). The formula is slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of two …

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

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.

To fully apply point-slope, or to apply point-slope easily, we just have to figure out the slope. And what we could do is, we could just evaluate well what's the slope between the two points that we know?

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 equation y = ( …
