Drawing a Line Using the Slope and a Point

A number that can be calculated using any two points on a line. To find it, you would divide the vertical distance between the points by the horizontal distance.

Answer explanation

The slope of a line is a number we can calculate using any two points on the line. To find the slope, divide the vertical distance between the points by the horizontal distance.

The slope of this line is 2 divided by 3 or 2/3.

Write the equation
y = mx + b
m = -1
(-2, 4)

• x = -2

• y = 4x - 2

• b = 2

• y = -1x + 2

Write the equation of the line with slope 4 through the point (-2, 5).

• y = 4x - 13

• y = 4x + 13

• y = 4x - 3

• y = 4x + 3

Write the equation of the line with slope 3/5 through the point (20, 6).

• y = 3/5x - 6

• y = 3/5x +18

• y = 3/5x - 18

• y = 3/5x +6
