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

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

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

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.

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

Find the slope of the line that goes through the two points that are given to you.

Point-slope is the general form y-y₁=m (x-x₁) for linear equations. It emphasizes the slope of the line and a point on the line (that is not the y-intercept). Watch this video to learn more about it and see some …

Given two points on a line, we can write an equation for that line by finding the slope between those points, then solving for the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation y=mx+b.

Once you have the slope, you can use either point along with the slope to create the equation of the line. Once the equation is converted to slope-intercept form, the equation would match the one in the video.

Learn how to find the slope-intercept equation of a line from two points on that line. If you haven't read it yet, you might want to start with our introduction to slope-intercept form.
