Finding the Slope of a Line from the Slope Formula:
- Label one point as (x1, y1)
- The other point becomes (x2, y2)
- Plug into the slope formula:
- We are finding the change in y-values over the change in x-values
- We sometimes hear the phrase "rise over run"
- Simplify and use m to label the slope of the line passing through the given points
Finding the Slope of a Line from Slope-Intercept Form:
- Solve the given equation for y
- This means y is isolated on one side of the equation
- We obtain the form: y = mx + b
- The slope is given as m, the coefficient of x
