The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

Learn how to graph lines whose equations are given in the slope-intercept form y=mx+b. If you haven't read it yet, you might want to start with our introduction to slope-intercept form.

Let's explore different ways to find and visualize slopes and intercepts, and how these concepts can help us solve real-world problems. **Unit guides are here!**

The slope, or steepness, of a line is found by dividing the vertical change (rise) by the horizontal change (run). The formula is slope = (y₂ - y₁)/ (x₂ - x₁), where (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the …

Course: 8th grade Math (Illustrative Math-aligned) > Unit 3 Lesson 9: Slopes don't have to be positive Intro to intercepts x-intercept of a line Intercepts from a graph

Once you have the slope, you can use either point along with the slope to create the equation of the line. Once the equation is converted to slope-intercept form, the equation would match the …
