The Slope of a Line

A slope of a line is the conversion in y coordinate w.r.t. the conversion in x coordinate.

The net change in the y-coordinate is demonstrated by Δy and the net change in the x-coordinate is demonstrated by Δx.

Hence, the change in y-coordinate w.r.t. the change in x-coordinate is given by,

\(m = \frac{\text{change in y}}{\text{change in x}} = \frac{Δy}{Δx}\)

Where, “m” is the slope of a line.

The slope of the line can also be shown by

\(tan θ = \frac{Δy}{Δx}\)

The slope of a Line Equation:

The equation for the slope of a line and the points are known to be a point-slope form of the equation of a straight line is given by: 

\(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\)

As long as the slope-intercept form the equation of the line is given by:

\(y = mx + b\)

Where, b is the y-intercept.
