Exploring the Concept of Slope

What does the letter 'm' represent in the context of slope?

• Mode

• Median

• Mean

• Slope

Which formula is used to calculate slope?

• y2 + y1 / x2 + x1

• y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

• y2 * y1 / x2 * x1

• y2 / y1 - x2 / x1

In the table method, what is the change in y if the y values are -1, 7, 15, and 23?

How do you identify points on a graph to calculate slope?

• By finding whole number points where the graph crosses grid lines

• By finding the highest and lowest points

• By finding the intersection with the x-axis

• By finding the intersection with the y-axis

What is the slope if you go down 3 units and right 4 units on a graph?
