The Slope of this line 3 3 1 So the Slope is equal to 1 The Slope of this line 4 2 2 The line is steeper and so the Slope is larger. The b value called the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis. In real life we see slope in any direction.
Ccssmathcontent8eeb6 Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane.
Keeping this fact in mind by definition the slope is the measure of the steepness of a line. X 1 y 1 represents the first point whereas x 2 y 2 represents the second point. You can do this using the slope-intercept form of a lines equation. M Y 2 Y 1 X 2 X 1 The answer M is the slope of the line.
