Draw the slope in red If we remove everything in blue rise and run you are left with just the slope of the line. Then youll see how to take these values and calculate the slope. The equations section lets you solve an equation or system of equations.
In this tutorial youll see how to use two points on the line to find the change in y and the change in x.
The slope-intercept form of an equation is y mx b which defines a line. Write the slope formula Step 4. Remember that the slope of a line never changes so you can choose whatever 2 points you want and you will always get the same slope. The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line.
