The slope of a line can be found given two points

as well. 

m =

Find the slope of the line that passes through the

two points (7, 2) and (-4, -6).

If the slope is negative, put the negative sign in the
numerator.
m=

Find the slope of the line that passes through

the points (8, 3) and (2, 9).

 

 

m=

Find the slope of the line that passes through the

points (7, -3) and (-4, 5).

 

If the slope is negative, put the negative sign in the
numerator.
m=

Find the slope of the line through (12, 8) and (9, n)

 is -4/3.  Determine the value of n.

 


n=
If the slope is negative, put the negative sign in the
numerator.

Find the slope of the line that passes through

the points (-3a, 7a) and (4a, 9a).

m=

Find the slope of the line that passes through

the points (8, 6) and (-3, -3).

If the slope is negative, put the negative sign in the
numerator.
m=

When solved for y, a linear equation will be in the

form y = mx + b.  Remember, m is the slope!

What is the slope of the equation y = -4x + 8?
The slope of y = -4x + 8 is -4.
m

What is the slope of the linear equation?

 

y = 2 x - 6

The slope of y = 2 x - 6 is
m
If the slope is negative, put the negative sign in the
numerator.

What is the slope of the linear equation?

 

y = 3/4 x + 9

m =

Solve the equation -x + 2y = 10 for y and then

state the slope of the line.

If the slope is negative, put the negative sign in the
numerator.
y=
