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.

How Do You Write an Equation of a Line in Point-Slope Form If You Have Two Points?

Curated OER

Given two points on a line, write an equation in point-slope form. But what's the slope? Oh, you have to figure out the slope first. That can be done given two points. Just use the rise over run slope formula. This isn't so hard after...
