How To Find Slope Of A Line?

Use the slope formula: (m = frac{y_2 – y_1}{x_2 – x_1})

Identify two points on the line: ((x_1, y_1)) and ((x_2, y_2))

Subtract the y-values

Subtract the x-values

Divide the change in y by the change in x

Simplify the fraction if needed

For a graph, count rise over run

For a horizontal line, the slope is 0

For a vertical line, the slope is undefined
