Determining Slope from Graphs

When reading a graph to determine the slope, in which direction should you read?

• Right to left

• Top to bottom

• Left to right

• Bottom to top

What does it indicate if a line on a graph is going upwards from left to right?

• The slope is undefined

• The slope is negative

• The slope is positive

• The slope is zero

How can you visually determine if a slope is negative on a graph?

• The line goes down from left to right

• The line goes up from left to right

• The line is horizontal

• The line is vertical

What is the formula for calculating slope?

• Change in y over change in x

• Sum of x and y

• Product of x and y

• Change in x over change in y

If a line goes down 4 units and right 4 units, what is the slope?

• 0

• 4

• 1

• -1

In the context of slope, what does the term 'rise' refer to?

• Change in x

• Product of x and y

• Change in y

• Sum of x and y

Given two points on a line, how do you calculate the slope?

• Subtract the x-coordinates and divide by the y-coordinates

• Add the x-coordinates and y-coordinates

• Multiply the x-coordinates and y-coordinates

• Subtract the y-coordinates and divide by the x-coordinates

If a line goes up 2 units and right 2 units, what is the slope?

• 1

• 2

• -1

• 0

What should you look for when finding points to calculate the slope without given coordinates?

• Points that are far apart

• Points that are close to each other

• Perfect intersections on the coordinate plane

• Any random points

If a line goes down 7 units and right 3 units, what is the slope?

• 3/7

• -7/3

• -3/7

• 7/3
