Finding Slope of a Line Using A Graph

Multiple Choice

What is another name for slope?

initial value

linear

rate of change

graph

In the formula y=mx+b

m = slope

There are four types of slopes.....

Multiple Choice

Which is not one of the four types of slopes?

positive

equal

negative

zero

undefined

How to find the slope:

1. choose two points on the line
2. find the change in y-values (rise). if you move up the change is positive & if you move down the change is negative
3. find the change in x-values (run). if you move right the change is positive & if you move left the change is negative
4. slope = rise / run

Multiple Choice

Slope can be found from a graph using...

run / rise

rise / run

rise / fall

fall / rise

Together:

Rise: 3
Run: - 4
Rise / Run: 3 / - 4
Slope: - 3 / 4

Poll

What is your confidence level for finding the slope when given two points?

Strong - I feel I can find the slope easily when given 2 points

Pretty good - most of the time I am correct - but I occasionally make a mistake

Okay - I need a little help when solving for the slope

Not very good - I am not very confident yet - but I am working at it

Multiple Select

Check all the steps that apply to finding the slope from a table.

Write the formula from the reference sheet

subtract the y values then the x values

put the subtraction of y on top and x values on bottom of fraction

add the y values and x values

put the subtraction of x on top of the fraction and y on the bottom of fraction
