slope becomes
larger, the line
becomes X
steeper, moving
toward vertical.
11
The smaller the slope…
Y
• As absolute
value of the m

slope becomes
smaller, the line m= ½
becomes flatter,
X
moving toward
horizontal.

• A line with a positive slope is drawn
up and to the right

The Slope of Vertical Lines
Y m = undefined
• The slope of a
vertical line is
undefined. If you
select two points
X
on a vertical line
and solve for the
slope, you will end
up with a zero in
the denominator.
22
The Slope of Horizontal Lines
Y
• The slope of a
horizontal line is m=0
zero. If you select
two points on a
X
horizontal line and
solve for the
slope, you will end
up with a zero in
the numerator.

Solution to Practice #2
1. Write the equation of the line with a
slope of 0 and passing through the point
(6,9).
y − y1 = m( x − x1 )
y −9 = 0( x −6)
y −9 = 0
y =9

Finding the equation of a line
using slope-intercept form.
y = mx + b
• Given two points we can find the slope of
the line.
• With the slope and a point we solve for b.
• Once we have m and b we substitute the
values in to the equation.
