Question

How to find slope. (using a formula)

Answer 1

Hi!

You can find slope using either formula (listed below).

If you do not have the exact points (x, y coordinates) of a point on a graph.

`(rise)/(run)`
If you do have the exact coordinates though of any points (of a line) you can use:

`(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)`
Hope this helps! Best of luck!

Answer 2

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Explanation:

The formula for the slope is

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points on the line
