Linear 1

The graph of a line passing through points A, B, and C is shown on the coordinate plane. Which statement best describes the slope of the line?

• The slope is negative from point A to point B because the x-coordinate of point A is negative. The slope is positive from point B to point C because the x-coordinate of point C is positive.

• The slope from point A to point B is greater than the slope from point B to point C because the y-coordinate of point A is greater than the y-coordinate of point C.

• The slope from point A to point B is greater than the slope from point B to point C because the distance from point A to point B is greater than the distance from point B to point C.

• The slope from point A to point B is equivalent to the slope from point B to point C because the ratio of the change in y-values to the change in x-values between point A and point B is equal to the same ratio between point B and point C.

Which statement about the slope between any two points on the same line is true?

• The slope between any two points on the same vertical line is 0.

• The slope between any two points on the same non-vertical line is undefined.

• The slope between any two points on the same vertical line increases as the distance between the two points increases.

• The slope between any two points on the same non-vertical line is the same because the proportion of the change in y-values to the change in x-values is the same.

The graph of a line is shown. Which statement about the slope of the line is true?

• A. The slope between point A and point B is the same as the slope between point C and point D because both slopes are equivalent to 2.

• B. The slope between point A and point B is the same as the slope between point C and point D because both slopes have the same ratio of change in y-values to change in x-values.

• C. The slope between point A and point B is greater than the slope between point C and point D because the distance between point A and point B is greater than the distance between point C and point D.

• D. The slope between point A and point B is negative because the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of point A are negative, and the slope between point C and point D is positive because the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of point D are positive.
