How to calculate slope
Step One: Identify two points on the line.
Step Two: Select one to be (x1, y1) and the other to be (x2, y2).
Step Three: Use the slope equation to calculate slope.
What is slope formula
Slope formula=
M = y2-Y1
——–
X2- X1
Explain y=mx+b
The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
How do you plot slope
Step 1: Put the equation in Slope Intercept Form.
Step 2: Graph the y-intercept point (the number in the b position) on the y-axis. …
Step 3: From the point plotted on the y-axis, use the slope to find your second point. …
Step 4: Draw your line using the two points you plotted (y-intercept (b) first, slope (m) second.
