Once you have the graph of a line, how can you find its slope?

find a point, and count how many up and over you have to go to the next point (rise/run) or put the equation in Ax+By=C form and do -A/B or put it in y=mx+b form and the slope is m. there's lots of ways.

If every point on the line has the same x coordinate, the line would be vertical. The formula for slope is rise/run. The "run" part would be the change in the x coordinates. Since there is no change, "run"=0. Dividing by zero is undefined, so the line's slope is undefined (not zero). Only vertical lines have an undefined slope.\n\nAlso, try plotting points. Choose any x value, and you will see that if every point has that same value, the line will be vertical regardless of the y value.\n\nAlso notice and vertical lines are not functions as they do not pass the vertical line test.

You have 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) and you want to find the equation of the line that goes through these points.\n\nThe first thing you want to do is find the slope.\nslope is rise/run so m = (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)\n\nFor slope intercept form , y = mx + b\nwhere m is the slope, and b is the y intercept\nnow that you have found the slope, you can solve for b, the y intercept by plugging in your value for m and one of the given points, either (x1,y1) or (x2,y2).\n\nFor point slope form,  y - K = m(x - H)\nm is the slope, and   (H,K) is a point that the line passes through.\nSince you have already calculated the slope, m, for the slope intercept form, you're already almost done. All you have to do is plug in the point (x1,y1) or (x2,y2). In your question, you are asked for the point slope form of just point (6,2).

First find its slope using the formula slope=(y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) where x2 = the second x-coordinate, etc.\n\nslope = (-5 - 5)/(4 - -2) = -10/6 = -5/3\n\nthen choose either point and use the form for an equation of a line:  y - y1 = slope(x - x1)\n\nso either y - 5 = -5/3(x - -2)  [which becomes (x+2)]  or\n\ny - -5 which is y + 5 = -5/3(x-4)

the graph of g(x)= y = x-2x^2 is a curve, on differntiating this\nequation we get 1-4x=slope of line\nd/dx g(x)\nbut slop of line is tan(0) since it is parallel to x axis, so 1-4x=0, so x=.25, now substitute x=.25 in g(x), we get y=0\nso, the point is (.25,0) or (1/4,0)

uh, find the derivative mathematically and then graph it.\n\nfor example to graph derivative of x^2.\n\nfind the derivative equation f(x)=2x\nand then graph y=2x.\n\nooops, didnt realize it was a picture.\n\nfind the zeroes (a high or low point i.e. tangent is a horizontal line)\nyou should be able to track poitive and negative slopes.  not too hard, you'll figure it out.

It's actually all explained for you right there in your "question". Maybe it would help you to draw the line on a piece of graph paper. Plot the point (3,5), then the point (-2,0) and draw a straight line through them. It tells you that the slope (m) is 1. So for every step to the right, the line goes up one step. The point (3,5) is the same as (x1,y1) and (-2,0) is  the same as (x2,y2). So you replace 3 for x1 in the point-slope form equation, and so on. It really helps to pay attention on class.

This is for math right? If so:\n\nThe slope-intercept form is:\n\ny = mx + b\n\ny = value on the y-axis\nm = slope\nx = value on the x-axis\nb = y-axis intercept\n\nThe slope-intercept form gives the equation for a straight line.

The slope of a line can tell you how to get from one point on the line to another. If the equation is a linear equation, a straight line, then just by knowing one point and the slope you can graph the function because the slope will tell you how to get to the second point you need.\n\nFor instance, if you are told that a line goes through the point (0,2) and has a slope of 1/2 you can plot the second point and connect the dots to draw your line. Since the slope is "rise/run" you have to "rise" one and "run" two to get to another point. "Rising" 1 from 0 gets you to 1, and "running" 2 from 2 gets you to 4. So the next point is (1,4).\n\nIn a more general sense, the slope of a of a graph tells you how quickly the function is increasing or decreasing. For instance, the function f(x) = x^2 has a slope of 2x (trust me on this) where as the function g(x) = 2x^2 has a slope of 4x. What this means is that g(x) increases twice as quickly as f(x). If you look at these two lines on the same graph, it is evident that one increases much more quickly than the other.\n\nIf you progress on into higher mathematics courses, you will see how important the concept of the slope is, especially in Calculus.

The slope is zero, it is a horizontal line.  The equation is y=-3.\n\ny=mx+b is the slope intercept form where m is the slope and b in the place where the line crosses the y axis.\n\nSlope is rise over run. The is the difference in y's over the distance in x's.

The slope of a line is defined as:\n\nm = (change in y) / (change in x)\n\nor:\n\nm = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)\n\nGiven the points (-3, 3) and (0,-3) means:\n\nx1 = -3\nx2 = 0\ny1 = 3\ny2 = -3\n\nPlugging these numbers into the equation for m yields:\n\nm = (-3 - 3) / (0 - -3)\n\nm = (-3 - 3) / (0 + 3)\n\nm = (-6) / (3)\n\nm = -2\n\nNote that a slope of 0 means that there is no change in y, or that y1 = y2

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.

To find the slope, you always have to set the equation as y=mx+b.  That equation is called the slope-intercept form.  "m" is the slope and b is the y-intercept.\nNow, to find the slope, try to get y alone.\n1. Subtract 2x from both sides.  You'll get: -8y=-2x+7\n2. Divide both sides by -8.  You'll get: y=(1/4)x+(-7/8)\nSo, the equation is y=(1/4)x-(7/8) and the slope is (1/4).

Find the derivative to get an equation for the slope and then analyze it.  If you have a positive slope for the entire range that means your slope is greatest at the highest value.  If you want to know whether or not the slope goes up and down in your range, set the derivative to zero and solve.  If any of those zero values fall within your range (no), it means that the slope has changed directions and either gone up or down.  Use that answer to evaluate your equation.

The slope of any line is dy/dx. The x axis has no dy; i.e., dy=0 so dy/dx=0. The y axis has no dx; dx=0 so dy/dx = undefined.

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
