Finding Slope from a Table, Graph, Ordered Pairs

• quadratic

• absolute value

• square root

• inverse

Choose all of the ways that we can use to represent slope.

• m

• Δy over the Δx

• rise over run

• change in the vertical line over the horizontal line

• y₂ - y₁ over x₂ - x₁

To find the rate of change, find the ______.

• slope

• graph

• money

We have learned to find the slope by using:

• a line

• a table

• (x, y) coordinates

• equations

What is the formula for finding the slope?

• y₂ - y₁ over x₁- x₂

• x₁- x₂ over y₂ - y₁

• x₂ - x_{1 over} y₂ - y₁

• y₂ - y₁ over x₂ - x₁

Use the ordered pairs to write the slope formula.

(7, 2) and (9, 3)

When we talk about slope, we are talking about how _____ a line is on a graph.

• long

• steep

• straight

• short

In this ordered pair, which value is the "x"?

(3, 7)

• 3

• 7

The table lists points that form a line on a coordinate plane. Based on the information in the table, what is the slope of the line?

• slope: m = 4

• slope: m = -1/4

• slope: m = -4

• slope: m = 1/4

What is the slope (rate of change) for the data shown on the table?

• 3

• 2

• 6
