In this lesson, we learned how to find the slope between two points given their x- and y-coordinates. We also learned how to use the slope to graph a line that passes through the two points, as well as how to calculate the y-intercept of the line. With these skills, we can easily...
Given m=4m=4, find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form passing through the point (2,5)(2,5). Solution Example 10: Finding the Equation of a Line Passing Through Two Given Points Find the equation of the line passing through the points (3,4)(3,4) and (0,−3)(0,...
line given two points STEP 1 Calculate the slope. m y 2 y 1– x 2 x 1 – = 2 -4 = 0 4 – 1– ( ) 1 – = mx b + = y STEP 2 Write an equation of the line. The line crosses the y-axis at (0, 1). So, the y-intercept is b = 1. 1 = y 2 -1 x + ANSWER...
The slope of the chord is −1−1, so the slope of the perpendicular bisector is 11. Thus the perpendicular bisector has equation of the shape y=x+by=x+b. Since the midpoint (13/2,5/2)(13/2,5/2) of our two given points is on the perpendicular bisector, we have b...
In the next example, the yy -intercept is a fraction. The calculations are easier if we use two points with integer coordinates.example Find the slope of the line shown: Show Solution try itIn the following video we show another example of how to find the slope of a line ...
How to find the Slope of an Equation Examples of how to find the slope of a line: Given the standard form equation: 3x + 4y = 8 The slope of the equation in standard form is -A/B. Using this equation, we can find the slope: m = -3/4 Another important skill we need to have...

Given only two points on a Cartesian coordinate system, the x- and y-intercepts of a linear function can be found by examining the graph. In the illustration below, given a line defined by coordinates (-4, 4) and (4, 0), the y-intercept is (0, 2), and the x-intercept is (4,...
On these printable worksheets, students are given ordered pairs or a graph and are instructed to find the slope.
