How do I find the slope

Answer:Use the formula m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are finding the slope of a line you must find two coordinates on this line. The coordinates will follow this format: (x1, y1) (x2, y2). When you plug this formula in, you are finding the change in y over the change in x, or delta Y over delta X.

It will be the difference between two points, example: (1,1) and (3,3) and the slope is y+2 and x+2. If you just have a table, the x and y are the points. so say x=2 makes y=5 then the point is (2,5) and you grab another off the table and say taht (4,2) then the slope is y-3 and x-2
