Slope calculator

Let us learn about Slope calculator

The slope is nothing but the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between 2 points on a line, or in other words we can say, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any 2 points on the line.formula of slope is mentioned in given picture

Calculate the slope of the equation of the line y = 3x + 16.

Step 1: Given equation of the line

y = 3x + 16................... (1)

Step 2: The general equation of slope-intercept form.

y = mx + b.................... (2)

where, m is the slope.

Step 3: Compare the equation (1) and (2)

Comparing the both eq! uation, we get m = 3

Step 4: Solution

The slope of the given line equation is m = 3

In our next blog we shall learn about Standard form equation I hope the above explanation was useful.Keep reading and leave your comments.
