What is the slope in the equation y=mx?

Back

The slope 'm' indicates the steepness and direction of the line. A positive slope means the line rises, while a negative slope means it falls.

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope m is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

If the slope m = 2, what does this mean for the line?

Back

It means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.
