Slope from a Table

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the change in the y-values to the change in the x-values.

Front

How do you find the slope from a table of values?

Back

To find the slope from a table, identify two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and use the formula: slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease.

Front

What is the first step in finding the slope from a table?

Back

The first step is to find the pattern in the y-values (change in y).

Front

What is the second step in finding the slope from a table?

Back

The second step is to find the pattern in the x-values (change in x).

What is the third step in finding the slope from a table?

If the change in y is 6 and the change in x is 2, what is the slope?
