Slope

Topics in this quizizz:

- Identifying slope (direction)

- Finding slope of a line (steepness)

- Slope from a Table

- Slope from an Graph
-Slope from points

Identifying Slope of a Line

• Slope can tell us the direction of the line!

• Refresh yourself of the 4 types of slope using the picture to the right:

Finding the Slope of a Line

• Slope can tell us how steep a line is!

• Each line can be assigned a value (a #) that tells us how steep the line is.

• Slope is written as a ratio (rise/run)

• Always make sure to simplify your answer!

Finding slope from a Table

• Slope = change in y/change in x

• Use the table to find the value the y is changing by. That is the numerator!

• Use the table to find the value the x is changing by. That is the denominator!

• ANOTHER OPTION: Graph the points and count rise/run
