Finding Slope on a Graph Using Rise Over Run

Slope can be found a graph by...

• Looking at where the line crosses the y-axis

• Looking at where the line crosses the x-axis

• Calculating "rise over run"

• Calculating "run over rise"

Which answer is equivalent to m=Rise/Run?

• (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

• (y2-y1)(x2-x1)

• y=mx+b

• (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Answer explanation

Remember that the y is always on top because of RISE and x on the bottom because of RUN. Now the second coordinate (y2 or x2) always comes first followed by subtracting the first coordinate (y1 or x1).
