Finding Slope Using Y=mx

What is the slope of a line between (-4,14) and (-16,8)?
Reminder!

Find the slope. Simplify, if you can.

• 2

In the equation y=mx+b, what does the m represent?

• slope

• y-intercept

• linear

• point-slope

In the equation y=mx+b, m is the ____.

• Slope

• Y-intercept

• X-intercept

• Origin

What is the slope of the line?

• 6/1

• 6

• 1/6

• -1/6

What is the slope in the equation y=2x + 3?

• 2

• 3

• 5

• Cannot be Determined 

Match the Graph with its slope.

• Zero

• 
• Positive

• 
• Negative

•

Slope is know as

rise/______

• run

• fall

• none

• rise

Find the slope from the given points:

(3,-1) (4,7)

Remember equations are written as y=mx+b. Create the equation by finding the slope from rise/run and the y-intercept by looking at where it crosses the y-axis. You can also create an equation by making a List & Spreadsheet, Data & Statistics, Menu 4, 6, 1.
