M Y 2 Y 1 X 2 X 1 The answer M is the slope of the line. When you are given a slope-intercept form equation then finding the slope is simple. If you want to check this answer just use the slope formula to find the slope of the line between 65 and 1-5.
Point the slope of the line between the two points will be equal to 2.
Distance Formula gives the length of a line segment. Plug in these values to the slope formula to find the slope. The numerator contains the difference of. Just make sure that you plug your numbers into the right places in the formula.
