It's for my online Sociology course. Is there a general guideline for how many lines per slide? The teacher has required APA in all the written papers but didn't specify for the slideshow and no real details to go on.

Powerpoint lines should be similar to bullet points that you would write on notecards when giving a presentation. They're the main ideas or headers of sections and are there as a reminder for you to give more details about whatever it is

Like nlin said, powerpoints should just have bullet points. That being said, around 4-6 per slide is what I usually see/do, although it might vary from slide to slide. Some bullet points may have subpoints that you may want to outline. Main idea is: for each slide pick an argument relating to your thesis, and outline it in bullet form, then talk about it in more detail when doing your presentation. Some arguments might have more to talk about out, but if you're running out of space (judge by how "crowded" the slide looks) just make a new slide with the same header and continue there.

ON TOP OF WHAT THEY SAID, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE SURE YOU DON'T READ OFF THE SLIDE DIRECTLY.
THE BULLET POINTS ARE THERE FOR YOU AND FOR ORGANIZATION. THEY(THE AUDIENCE) SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO YOU
