<p>Math 155 - Cooley Finite Math with Applications OCC</p><p>Section 1.1 – Slopes and Equations of Lines Slope of a Nonvertical Line The slope of a nonvertical line is defined as the vertical change (the “rise”) over the horizontal change (the </p><p>“run”) as one travels along the line. In symbols, taking two different points ( x1, y 1 ) & ( x2, y 2 ) on the line, the slope is Change in yD y y- y m = = = 2 1 , Change in xD x x2 - x 1 with x1 x 2 Slope (Formula)</p><p>The slope of the line through ( x1, y 1 ) & ( x2, y 2 ) with x1 y 1 is y- y m = 2 1 x2- x 1 Slope Intercept Form If a line has slope m and y-intercept b, then the equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y= mx + b .
