Given the graph of a line, how can you find the slope?

• Find the change in x-coordinates divided by the change in y-coordinates between any two points on the line.

• Multiply the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate of any point on the line.

• Divide the y-coordinate by the x-coordinate of any point on the line.

• Find the change in y-coordinates divided by the change in x-coordinates between any two points on the line.
