Learn how to calculate the slope of the line in a graph by finding the change in y and the change in x. Created by Sal Khan and Monterey Institute for Technology and Education.

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

The slope, or steepness, of a line is found by dividing the vertical change (rise) by the horizontal change (run). The formula is slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the coordinates of two …

To fully apply point-slope, or to apply point-slope easily, we just have to figure out the slope. And what we could do is, we could just evaluate well what's the slope between the two points that we know?

Learn how to write an equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) for the line with a slope of -3/4 that goes through the point (0,8). We identify the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) to create our equation y = ( …
