you use the formula!!!
Rise/Run
or (x2-x1)/(y2-y1)
eg: (2 3) (4 6)
(4-2)/(6-3)= 2/3!!!
If you have the equation Y=MX+B M=Slope of the line

How do contour lines determine which area of an island has the steepest slope?
The closer the contour lines the steeper the slope.
How do you use slope to determine if two lines are perpendicular?
You have to know the slopes of both lines. -- Take the two slopes. -- The lines are perpendicular if (one slope) = -1/(the other slope), or the product of the slopes equals to -1.
How do contuor lines help you to determine the area of an island has the steepest slope?
The area with the steepest slope is the area where the contour lines are bunched closest together.
What On topographic maps contour lines that are close together indicates?
The steeper the slope, the contour lines go further along the area. You can also determine the flatness of the area with these lines.
How can you determine whether the contours on a topographic map show a gradual slope?
If the topographic lines are closer together it means that it has a steeper slope grade, if they are farther apart, it means that they have a more relaxed slope grade. There is usually a scale on the map that can tell you in exact measurements of the slope.
What are Lines having no slope?
Lines with no slope are horizontal lines or flat lines
How can you use the slopes and y-intercepts to determine if two lines are parallel?
If the lines are straight and have the same slope they are parallel, no matter what the y intercept is
What determined a steep slope on a contour map?
the lines tha determine you, consider and think about ones comment
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper lines
Lines that have the same slope in math?
Lines that have the same slope are said to be parallel lines.
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
What slope do horizontal lines always have?
Horizontal lines always have a slope of 0.
