Slope y 2 y 1 x 2 x 1 text Slope. If youre given the formula and need to find m you may need to. As mentioned before the slope indicates the inclination of the line with respect to the x-axis.
To find the slope you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points.
Simplify the fraction to get the slope of -25. The basic formula for a linear equation is y mx b where m is the slope. M -coefficient of xcoefficient of y. Make sure this slope makes sense by.
