When finding slope from a set of points...

• Use (m = y2 -y1 / x2 - x1)

• Use change in y / change in x

• Use (m= y1-y2 / x1-x2)

• Use y = mx+b

When finding slope from a graph...

• use change in y over change in x

• locate two points and create a right triangle, then rise over run

• x coordinate divided by the y coordinate

• pick only two negative points on the graph and subtract
