What is Slope? The slope of a line is defined as the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate of that line. The net change in y coordinate is Δy, while the net change in the x coordinate is Δx. So the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate can be written as, m = Δy/Δx. where, m is the slope.

Slope is the change in y values divided by the change in x values. Let's find the slope of the line that goes through the points ( 3, 2) and ( 5, 8) : Slope = Change in y Change in x = 6 2 = 3. Use the graph below to find the slope of the line that goes through the points ( 1, 2) and ( 6, 6) . Slope = Check. Show solution.
