Slope is defined as the steepness of a line. Which of the following is a way to remember slope? Run over Rise Slow over Fast Fast over Slow Rise over Run If slope is equal to rise over the run, what is the slope of the line? -2/3 2/3 -3/2 3/2 Rise = -3 Run =+2 If slope is equal to rise over the run, what is the slope of the line? Rise =+5 Run=+3 3/5 5/3 -3/5 -5/3 Find the slope of the line. -1/2 2 -2 1/2 Find the slope of the line. 0 slope undefined slope 10 -10 Find the slope of the line. 0 slope 3 -3 undefined slope Find the slope of the line. 4/3 -4/3 3/4 -3/4 Undefined ? Match each graph with the correct slope. Drag each. Positive ? Negative ? Zero ? The slope of a line can be found given two points as well. m = ∆ ∆ Find the slope of the line that passes through the two points (7, 2) and (-4, -6). m= Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 3) and (2, 9).
m= Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (7, -3) and (-4, 5).
m= Find the slope of the line through (12, 8) and (9, n) is -4/3. Determine the value of n.
n= Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-3a, 7a) and (4a, 9a). m= Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (8, 6) and (-3, -3). m= When solved for y, a linear equation will be in the form y = mx + b. Remember, m is the slope! What is the slope of the equation y = -4x + 8? The slope of y = -4x + 8 is -4. m What is the slope of the linear equation?
y = 2 x - 6 The slope of y = 2 x - 6 is m What is the slope of the linear equation?
y = 3/4 x + 9 m = |
