slope of a line


Let us study about Slope of a line,

The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in y over the change in x.

Simply put, find the difference of both the y and x coordinates and place them in a ratio.
Pick two points on the line. Because you are using two sets of ordered pairs both having x and y values, a subscript must be used to distinguish between the two values.



This is the formula for finding the slope of a line.
m is the variable used for the slope.




I hope the above explanation was useful.
