The equation of a line is
What are the slope and the y-intercept?
The equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form, 
, where 
is the slope and 
is the y-intercept. In this example, the y-intercept is a negative number.
The equation of the line is written in slope-intercept form,

What is the slope of the line 
?
What is the slope of the line
In the standard form of a line 
the slope is represented by the variable 
.
In this case the line 
has a slope of 
.
The answer is 
.
In the standard form of a line
In this case the line
The answer is

What is the slope of the line that contains the points
and 
What is the slope of the line that contains the points
To find the slope of a line with two points you must properly plug the points into the slope equation for two points which is
We must then properly assign the points to the equation as 
and 
.
In this case we will make 
our 
and 
our 
.
Plugging the points into the equation yields
Perform the math to arrive at
The answer is
