Calculate the Slope of a Line Using Two Points

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Find that slope! This video does an excellent job of demonstrating how to use the slope formula to find the slope of a line using two points. The instructor first reviews the definition of slope of a line, then works three problems using the slope formula. He gives a thorough and detailed explanation as he works through each example, including a discussion about subscripts.
