Finding and Interpreting Slope

Given the linear equation below, what is the slope ?

2x + 4y = 8

• -8

• -4

• -2

• -1/2

It took Sally 8 seconds to go 10ft on her tricycle. What is the slope for Sally?

Find the slope of:
(-4,5) and (-4, 2)

• 0

• 6

• undefined

• -3/8

Find slope of:
(-2,3) and (4,-5)

Given the graph above, use the slope formula to determine slope.

• 4

• 1/4

• -1/4

• -4

• Slope is  $\frac{1}{20}$  and means the tractor gains 1 gallon for every 20 miles it travels.

• The slope is $-\frac{1}{10}$ and means the candle height's shortens 1 inch every 10 minutes it burns.

• The slope is $\frac{1}{10}$ and means the candle height's gets taller by 1 inch every 10 minutes it burns.

• The slope is $-\frac{125}{1}$ and means the shelter uses 1 packed meal every 125 hours.

• The slope is $\frac{125}{1}$ and means the shelter makes 1 packed meals every 125 hours.

• The slope is $\frac{26}{1}$ and means in 26 seconds the wakeboard will go 1 foot.

• The slope is $-\frac{26}{1}$ and means the wakeboard will go backwards in 1 second.

• The slope is $\frac{1}{50}$ and means the motorcycle will go 1 mile and will gain 50 gallons of gas.

• The slope is $-\frac{1}{50}$ and means when the motorcycle goes 1 mile it will use 50 gallons.
