Finding the SLOPE of a line The slope of a line is the ratio of the change in y over the change in x. Simply put, find the difference of both the y and x coordinates and place them in a ratio. Pick two points on the line. Count the number of spaces UP/DOWN to get the y value. Count the number of spaces LEFT/RIGHT to get the x value. So my slope is: 6 5 5 6 Here my slope is So I simplify it to 3 1 3 1 3 Now you can try. I've turned on the indicator of RIGHT and WRONG at the top corner. Make sure you are getting them all correct. If not, go back, reread the directions and try again. |
