How do you find the slope of a line going through two points? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Slope 1 Answer smendyka Mar 1, 2017 The slope can be found by using the formula: #m = (color(red)(y_2) - color(blue)(y_1))/(color(red)(x_2) - color(blue)(x_1))# Where #m# is the slope and (#color(blue)(x_1, y_1)#) and (#color(red)(x_2, y_2)#) are the two points on the line.
