G.E.D. Math 22d, Finding the Slope of a line

An explanation of how to find the slope of a line for a linear equation, positive and negative slopes and how to identify them from the graphed line, the Slope Formula, rise and run, using ordered pairs to find a slope, horizontal lines with slope 0, vertical lines with NO slope, parallel lines with the same slope, choosing the points for an ordered pair from a line, many examples.

Hello! Hmm Okay, so I'm not sure if this is even a valid question, but here goes. Atleast for linear graphs, it seems like all equations are solved for Y... We always either plug in numbers and always are interested in the Y value, or Y intercept. Why is this? Why can't we find the slope using X = my+b ? Or just solve for X instead of Y?
