Given any line, to find the slope of the line, follow the procedure below:
First, pick any two points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) on the line.
Then, substitute the points into the formula for slope below:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Slope},m=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \end{gathered}[/tex]You can use this method to find the slope of any given line.
