steepness

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x)

step one: identify two points on the line

step two: select one to be (x1,y1) and the other to be (x2,y2)

step three: use the slope equation calulate slope

2x-3=8+7(+3)

2y-3(+3)=8x+7(+3)

2y=8x+10

----- --------

2y=8x+10

y=4x+5
