Exploring Slope from a Table and Points

Why is the table not considered proportional?

• Because the x values are not constant.

• Because the y values are not constant.

• Because the ratio of y to x is not constant.

• Because the table has negative values.

What is the first step in finding the slope from a table?

• Subtract x from y.

• Divide y by x.

• Multiply x and y values.

• Look for patterns in the y values.

If the y values change by 2 and the x values change by 3, what is the slope?

• 3

• 2/3

• 3/2

• 2

In the example where y values decrease by 3 and x values increase by 2, what is the slope?

• 2/3

• -2/3

• -3/2

• 3/2

What is the slope if y values increase by 5 and x values decrease by 4?

• 4/5

• -5/4

• 5/4

• -4/5

What is the first step in finding the slope from two points?

• Multiply x and y values.

• Divide y by x.

• Create a table from the points.

• Subtract x from y.

If the y values change from -5 to 7, what is the change in y?

• -2

• 2

• -12

• 12

What is the slope of the line passing through points (-2, -5) and (4, 7)?

• 4

• 1

• 3

• 2

What is the slope of the line passing through points (-5, 10) and (3, 4)?

• 4/3

• -3/4

• 3/4

• -4/3

What is the simplified slope of the line passing through points (3, 15) and (-5, 11)?

• 1/2
