We can calculate the slope of a line "m" by means of the following equation:


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are two points of a line.

We could take any point where the line passes through, for example, we can take (0,20) and (10,70), then we get:


m=(70-20)/(10-0)=(50)/(10)=5

Then, the slope of the line equals 5
