Finding Slope
Today we'll be exploring how to find the slope of the line.

3
There are multiple ways to find the slope of the line.
One way to find slope is by diving the vertical side by the horizontal side of slope triangles.
4
In this case
You can see that vertical length of the yellow triangle is 3 and the horizontal length is 4. To find the slope, you can divide 3 by 4 (which equals .75). Or you can write the slope as 3/4.
5
Another way to find slope is counting the rise over run.
Meaning, you can pick a plotted point and count how many squares it goes up and then how many it goes over until it hits the next point.
