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. Determine the slope of the line passing through the points. Slope is some number of change in y per change in x so a slope of 4 is the same as 4 units of change in y per one unit of change in x.
Although the slope is not directly provided to us we can absolutely solve for the slope using the Slope Formula because there are at least two points that we know of that are found on the line.
First we take our two points and find the slope. Use these tricks to help you. Slope y 2 y 1 x 2 x 1 How it works. Locate the slope of a line in an equation.
