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

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

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.

Let's find the slope of the line that goes through the ordered pairs (4,2) and (-3, 16). The slope, or steepness, of a line is found by dividing the vertical change (rise) by the horizontal change (run).

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.

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

In word problems or real-life situations, you need to interpret the information and identify two points that represent the situation. Once you have the two points, you can use the formula (y2 …

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.
