Multiple Choice
How many points do you need to find the slope of a line?

16
Step by Step:
1. Label the Points 1 and 2 (Slope is ALWAYS the same, no matter which point you pick to be the “first” or “second”.)
2. Label the X and Y for each point
3. Write the values in the slope formula
4. Simplify
17
Practice
Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (5, 17) and (0,-3).
Step 1: Label the Points
First Point ------> (X1, Y1) = (5, 17)
Second Point ------> (X2, Y2) = (0, -3)
18
Step 2: Extract Values
X1 = 5 and Y1 = 17
X2 = 0 and Y2 = -3
19
****Minusing a negative give you a positive!
Step 3: Plug the values into the slope formula.
-Remember that Y values go on top and X values go on bottom.
-Make note of the MINUS in between each point for the top and bottom
-Don't mix the first (red) and second (blue) points.
20
PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SIGNS!!!!
Step 4: Simplify
-Solve for m using the Order of Operations (PEMDAS)
-Make sure that you subtract the numbers correctly. Use a CALCULATOR!
**Remember- subtracting a negative number is the same as adding
