Slope is Y2 -Y1 divided by X2 - X1\n\nIn your example, Y2= 12\n                            Y2= -7\n                             X2= 0\n                            X1=-2\nSo... \n(12-(-7)) / (0-(-2))= 19 / 2 = 9.5\n\nThe slope of the line is 9.5

That means put zero for x and see what y is (the y-intercept), then put zero for y and see what x is (the x-intercept).\n\nDraw the two intercepts and draw a line through them.

All equations for a line will have the form:\n\ny = mx + b,\n\nwhere x & y are coordinates, m is your slope, and b is your y-intercept.\n\nTherefore, substituting in your slope and y intercept, you get:\n\ny = -2/3x + 4\n\nThis equation can then be used to graph the line, since given any x, the corresponding y can be found. :)

If you know how to find the slope of a line in the form y = mx + b, just write the equations of two lines with different slopes.  They will have to cross.  Graph each line and find the crossing point.  That's the answer.  Hint:  make the slope of one line be the y-intercept of the other line and vice versa.  Then they will cross at an exact point on the graph.

The slope intercept form of the line is \n\ny = mx + b where m = slope and b = y-intercept\n\nSince (5, -3) lies on the line then\n\n-3 = 5m + b\n\nie 5m + b - 3 = o\n\nSo any line in which m = (3 - b)/5\n\neg b = -2, m = 1 So y = x - 2\nb = 8, m = -1 So y = 8 - x ....... and so forth\n\nGraphing m against b would give all the values of m, b that satisfy the given condition.

y=mx+b (this is known as the standard form of linear equations)\n\nm=slope\nx=x values\ny=y values\nb= y-intercept\n\nso the answer for you question is:\n\nslope = -1\ny-intercept = -3\n\nEXPLANATION:\n\ny = mx + b\ny = -x-3\n\nm= -1   and    b = -3\n \nslope = m    and   y-intercept = b\n\nthus, the slope is -1 and the y-intercept is -3\n\n\nNote: the slope is rise/run (rise over run) -- to make a graph use the y-intercept and the slope -- once you have the slope and the y-intercept, making this graph should be easy because it's a linear graph -- but if you still don't get it ask your teacher\n\n\nthus, the slope is not a-1 -----there is no "a"

it's the slope-intercept form of the equation for a line.

If you are given the slope(m) and a point on the line(x1, y1) you can write the equation of the line.\n\nYou take the y-intercept equation\ny =m*x + b and substitute x1 and y1 for x and y and get\ny1 = m*x1 + b    \nnow solve for b\nb = (y1-m*x1)\nsubstite b = (y1-m*x1) into the y-intercept equation\ny =m*x +(y1-m*x1)\nsubtract y1 from both sides of the equation\ny -y1 = m*x -m*x1\nbecomes the point-slope formula\ny -y1 =m*(x-x1)

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is given by \ny=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\nAll you have to do is plug the numbers in.\nso the equation is y=9x-3

in an equation y = mx + b, m is always the slope and by is always the y-intercept\n\nx + 2y = 3\n2y = 3 - x\ny = (-1/2)x + (3/2)\nthe slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is 3/2\n\n1/2x - 9 = 0\nwhere's the y?  this isnt an equation\n\ny = 3x - 2\nthe slope is 3 and the y-intercept is -2\n\ny + 4x = 8\ny = -4x + 8\nthe slope is -4 and the y-intercept is 8

the y coordinates are the same i.e. -1, \nso the line is parallel to the x axis and passes through -1 on the y axis.\nits slope is parallel to the x axis.

Slope = m\n= y2-y1&#92;x2-x1 \n= -4-6/-3-2\n = -10&#92;-5\n=2\n\nnote: / means divided by\n\nthe slope of y= 2&#92;3x-4 is 2&#92;3

Both of your questions refer to equations of lines.\n\n\nSlope intercept form of a line refers to an equation of a line that contains the line's slope and y-intercept. This is normally represented by :    y = mx + b   where m is the slope of the line and the point (0 , b) is the line's y - intercept.\n\n\nStandart form of a line refers to an equation of a line where the coefficients of the variables are integers, and the line is set equal to a constant. This is represented by :  ax + by = c   where a and b  are integers.

We can use the point-slope form of the equation and then transform it into the slope-intercept form.\n\n(y - y1) = m(x - x1)\n(y - 2) = 4/3(x - 3)\ny - 2 = (4/3)x - 4\ny  =(4/3)x - 2.\n\nm = 4/3, b = -2\n\n3y = x - 3\ny = (1/3)x - 1\n\nThe slope m = 1/3
