Answer:

To the find slope in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) you just find the m of the equation for example: y=4x+8 the 4 is the slope since it is replacing the m

To find the slope in two points (x1,y1) (x2,y2) follow this formula

y2-y1/x2-x1

For example: Find the slope of (4,9) and (9,19)

19-9/9-4 Which is 10/5 simplify: 2

The slope is 2

Answer:

To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points
