How do I find slope?

Answer 1

Presumably you want the slope of a straight line.

If you are given the equation, put it into the form: y = mx + b.

Then m is the slope.

If you are given 2 points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) then the slope is (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁).

In words the slope is the change in the vertical direction divided by the change in the horizontal direction, sometimes called rise/run.
