Slide 1

Find the Slope

Find the slope of the line.  Type the rise in the numerator and the run in the denominator.

Slope equals rise over run.

Description of image: A line is graphed so that it passes through the points (negative 8, 1), (Negative 5, 2), (1, 4) and (13, 8).

Correct Answer: 1/3

Slide 2

Slope equals rise over run.

Description of image: A line is graphed so that it passes through the points (negative 4, negative 4), (negative 2, negative 1), (0, 2), and (4, 8)

Correct Answer: 3/2

Slide 3

Find the slope of the line.  Be sure to reduce the fraction to the least common denominator.

Slope equals rise over run.

Hint: When moving in a negative direction for the rise or the run, the count is considered a negative count.

Description of image: A line is graphed so that it passes through the points (negative 6, 7), (negative 5, 6), (negative 2, 3) and (6, negative 5).

Correct Answer: -1/1
