Slope Formula

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where m is the slope, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

What does the slope represent in a graph?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep a line is.
