Slope of a Line Game
To find the slope of a line given two points, use the slope formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of your two points. You find the difference in the y-coordinates (the “rise”) and divide it by the difference in the x-coordinates (the “run”) to get the slope, often represented by the letter ’m’. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
The game will give you two points, and you’ll have to calculate the slope, which could be a positive or negative fraction, a whole number, zero, or undefined. If you get an answer wrong, it will show you the correct solution.

Slope of a Line

  1. Label your points:
    Assign one point as (x1, y1) and the other as (x2, y2). It doesn’t matter which point you choose as the first or second point, but be consistent.
  2. Calculate the “rise” (change in y):
    Subtract the y-coordinate of the first point from the y-coordinate of the second point (y2 - y1).
  3. Calculate the “run” (change in x):
    Subtract the x-coordinate of the first point from the x-coordinate of the second point (x2 - x1).
  4. Divide the rise by the run:
    Divide the result from step 2 by the result from step 3. This value is the slope.
