Slope from a Graph (positive only)

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change) between two points on the line.

How do you find the slope from a graph?

Back

To find the slope from a graph, identify two points on the line, calculate the rise (difference in y-coordinates) and the run (difference in x-coordinates), and then use the formula: slope = rise/run.

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

What is the rise in the slope formula?

Back

The rise is the vertical change between two points on a line, calculated as the difference in their y-coordinates.

What is the run in the slope formula?

Back

The run is the horizontal change between two points on a line, calculated as the difference in their x-coordinates.

What is the first step to finding the slope from a graph?

Back

The first step is to find two points A (left) and B (right) on the graph.

If a line has a slope of 1/2, what does this mean?

Back

A slope of 1/2 means that for every 2 units you move horizontally to the right, the line rises 1 unit vertically.
