How do you find the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope is found by taking the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x) between two points on the line.

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean?

Back

A slope of 2 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined, as the change in x is 0.
