Calculating Slope: From Tables, Graphs, and Points

What does a positive slope indicate about the direction of a line on a graph?

• The line is horizontal.

• The line moves from left to right upwards.

• The line moves from left to right downwards.

How do you calculate the slope from a table of values?

• Add the change in Y to the change in X.

• Divide the change in Y by the change in X.

• Multiply the change in Y by the change in X.

• Subtract the change in X from the change in Y.
