What you'll learn

  1. Determine the slope of a line from two points, using m = (y_2 - y_1)/(x_2 - x_1) with both subtractions in the same order, or from a graph by counting rise and run between two lattice points
  2. State the sign and rough magnitude of a slope from a picture alone, and use it to check a computed slope
  3. Derive from the formula that a horizontal line has slope 0 and a vertical line has undefined slope
  4. Use equal slopes to decide whether three given points are collinear, and a slope product of -1 to locate a right angle in a figure given by vertices
