Question 29456: How do you get the slop of a line?
Answer by Nate(3500)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you get it by this equation:
m=(first y - second y)/(first x - second x)
so in the ordererd pair: (1,2) and (3,4)
m=(2 - 4)/(1 - 3)=-2/-2=1
How do you pick which is the first x and y?
as long as you decide what your using for your first x, your first y is the y value in the ordered pair
