8th Grade Slope _ Unit 3 Lesson 10

Front

What is the slope? Options: 6/5, 6/7, 5/6, 5/7

Back

5/6

Answer explanation

The slope is calculated as the ratio of the change in y to the change in x. In this case, the correct slope is 5/6, which represents the rise over run in the given context.

Front

What is the slope?

Back

-1/4

Answer explanation

The slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x. A slope of -1/4 indicates a decrease in y as x increases, which matches the correct answer. Thus, the slope is -1/4.

Back

Answer explanation

The slope formula calculates the steepness of a line using two points. It is given by \(\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\), which represents the change in y over the change in x. This is the correct choice.

What is the slope of a line that passes through the points (0, 1) and (2, 6)?

Back

m = 5/2

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (0, 1) and (2, 6), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (6 - 1) / (2 - 0) = 5 / 2. Thus, the correct answer is m = 5/2.

Find the slope given the points (-5,-3) and (2,4).

Back

1

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (4 - (-3)) / (2 - (-5)) = 7 / 7 = 1. Thus, the correct answer is 1.

Find the slope given the points (1,4) and (5,9).

Back

5/4

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (1,4) and (5,9), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (9 - 4) / (5 - 1) = 5 / 4. Thus, the correct answer is 5/4.

Find the slope when given (2, 3) (3, 5)

Back

2

Answer explanation

To find the slope between points (2, 3) and (3, 5), use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, (5 - 3) / (3 - 2) = 2/1 = 2. Thus, the slope is 2.

Front

Find the slope given the following points:
(-1, 2) (3, 5)

Back

3/4

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (-1, 2) and (3, 5), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (5 - 2) / (3 - (-1)) = 3 / 4. Thus, the correct answer is 3/4.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through:
(10, 1) and (5, 2)

Back

-1/5

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (2 - 1) / (5 - 10) = 1 / -5 = -1/5. Thus, the correct answer is -1/5.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through:
(-12, -5) and (0, -8)

Back

-1/4

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (-12, -5) and (0, -8), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (-8 - (-5)) / (0 - (-12)) = (-3) / 12 = -1/4. Thus, the slope is -1/4.
