What is the slope of these two points (5,-11) and (25,9)?

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given two points:

( 13 , 0 ) and ( 9 , - 4 )

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given two points:

( 12 , - 4 ) and ( 15 , 14 )

Find the slope of the line that passes through the given two points:

( 3 , 4 ) and ( -3 , 4 )

What is the slope shown on the graph?

How are you feeling with finding slope of a table and graph?

• I feel good with both!

• I need more help with finding slope from a graph.

• I need more help with finding slope from a table.

• I need help with both.

What is slope?

• two points

• run over rise

• Division of vertical change by horizontal change between two points

• Change in x over change in y

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
