find the slope for the graph of the equation

Before we know how to find the slope for the graph of the equation ,lets see what is slope.

Slope is used to describe the steepness, incline, gradient, or grade of a straight line. A higher slope value indicates a steeper incline. The slope is defined as the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line, or in other words, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line. It is also always the same thing as how many rises in one run.

Using calculus, one can calculate the slope of the tangent to a curve at a point.

The concept of slope, and much of this article, applies directly to grades or gradients in geography and civil engineering.

Question:-

Draw the graph of 2x-3y=12. Use the graph to find the slope of line and area between the axes.

Answer:-

This Online help with math shows us ,how to draw the graph for the above problem.

by simplifying the equation we get.

y=0, x=6
y=-2, x=3
y=-4, x=0

We also use the slope formula to get the slope on the line .

Question to Find the Slope of given Straight line Equation

Here is a Linear Programming problem on Slope and y intercept of a Straight line, Straight line equation is a linear equation in two variables.
Slope is a the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line.
y-intercept is the y-value of the point where the graph of the function or a relation intercepts the y-axis of the rectangular coordinate system (x = 0)

Topic : Slope and y-intercept of a Straight Line

This the simple and direct question to find slope and y intercept.

Problem : Given straight line is 4x -8y - 32 = 0, find the slope and y-intercept of the straight line.
Solution :
Slope is always denoted by 'm'
and Slope = - Co-efficient of x / Co-efficient of y
So from the given straight line 4x - 8y - 32 = 0
=> - 4/- 8 = 1/2
Slope = 1/2

Now to find y-intercept
put x = 0 in the given straight line linear equation,
So 4x - 8y - 32 = 0
-8y - 32 = 0
=> - y = 32/8
=> y = - 4
=> y-intercept is (0,-4)
