Finding Slope from a Graph

This video tutorial explains how to find the slope of a line from a graph using the rise over run method. It covers both positive and negative slopes, emphasizing the importance of starting from the leftmost point to determine the slope's sign. The video also discusses how the direction of the line itself can indicate whether the slope is positive or negative. The tutorial concludes with a brief mention of the next video, which will cover finding slope given two points.

What is the term used to describe the slope in the context of graphs?

• Distance over slope

• Rise over run

• Slope over distance

• Run over rise

When calculating slope using rise over run, where should you start?

• Lowest point

• Leftmost point

• Highest point

• Rightmost point

If you move up three units and right five units, what is the slope?

• 8/5

• 3/8

• 5/3

• 3/5

What does a negative slope indicate about the direction of the line?

• The line is horizontal

• The line goes up from left to right

• The line is vertical

• The line goes down from left to right

If you move down one unit and right four units, what is the slope?

• -4/1

• 1/4

• -1/4

• 4/1

What determines the sign of the slope when starting from the leftmost point?

• The angle of the line

• The distance between points

• The vertical movement

• The horizontal movement

What is a positive move when determining slope?

• Moving left or down

• Moving right or down

• Moving right or up

• Moving left or up

If the line is going up from left to right, what is the slope?

• Negative

• Zero

• Undefined

• Positive

What should you keep in mind if you start counting from the rightmost point?

• The distance between points

• The angle of the line

• The color of the line

• The direction of movement

• Finding the x-intercept

• Finding slope given two points

• Finding the y-intercept
