Frequently Asked Questions

Slope is calculated as the rise divided by the run: the difference in y-values divided by the difference in x-values between two points. For points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), slope equals (y2 minus y1) divided by (x2 minus x1).

A negative slope means the line descends from left to right, indicating that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases. A slope of zero is a horizontal line, and an undefined slope is a vertical line.

Slope-intercept form is written as y equals mx plus b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis). This form makes it easy to graph a line or identify its slope and intercept at a glance.
