25 M1 Determining Slope in all forms.

What is the slope (m)?

• $3

• $4

• $2

• $9

Answer explanation

The slope (m) is calculated from the rise over run. In this case, the correct slope is $9, indicating a steep incline. This value represents the rate of change in the context provided.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12)

• 1/2

• -1/2

• 2

• -2

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (12 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 8 / 4 = 2. Thus, the slope is 2.

Find the slope of the line.

• -2

• 2

• -1

• 1

Answer explanation

The slope of a line is calculated as the change in y over the change in x (rise/run). A slope of -1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y decreases by 1. Thus, the correct answer is -1.

Find the slope of the line.

• Undefined

• 0

• 1

• -1

Answer explanation

The slope of a line is defined as the change in y over the change in x. A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.

The slope is known as rise/ (Rise over ________)

• run

• fall

• none

• rise

Answer explanation

Slope is defined as rise over run, which means the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run). Therefore, the correct answer to fill in the blank is 'run'.

Find the slope.

• -2

• 2

• ¹/₂

• -¹/₂

Answer explanation

To find the slope, use the formula (change in y) / (change in x). If the slope is -1/2, it indicates a decrease of 1 unit in y for every 2 units increase in x, confirming the correct answer is -1/2.

Find the slope.

• ²/₅

• ^-2/₅

• ⁵/₂

• ^-5/₂

Answer explanation

To find the slope, use the formula (change in y) / (change in x). Given the values, the slope calculates to 5/2, making ⁵/₂ the correct answer.

Find the slope from the table.

• 1/4

• -1/4

• -4/1

• 4/1

Answer explanation

To find the slope from the table, calculate the change in y over the change in x. The correct slope is -4/1, indicating a steep negative slope, which matches the data points in the table.

Find the slope between the two points.
(4, 2) and (3, 8) 

• ^-1/₆

• -6

• ¹/₆

• 6

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (4, 2) and (3, 8), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (8 - 2) / (3 - 4) = 6 / -1 = -6. Thus, the correct answer is -6.

Find the slope between the two points.
(2, 7) and (5, 8)

• ¹/₃

• ^-1/₃

• 3

• -3

Answer explanation

To find the slope (m) between points (2, 7) and (5, 8), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (8 - 7) / (5 - 2) = 1 / 3. Thus, the correct answer is 1/3.
