Can anyone help me determine the slope of a line

In order to determine the slope of the line, you must familiarize yourself first with the two formulas.

Formula for the slope of the line given 1 point:

m = y/x

m = rise/run

Formula for the slope of the line given 2 points:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Hence in order to find the slope of the line, the 2 points must be determined. If only one point is given, then the first formula will be used.
