Determining Slope from a Table of Values

What does the slope in a graph represent?

• The ratio of horizontal to vertical change

• The ratio of vertical to horizontal change

• The total distance covered in the graph

• The difference between the highest and lowest points

How do you calculate the change in X from a table?

• Subtract the first X value from the last X value

• Add all X values together

• Multiply the first and last X values

• Divide the highest X value by the lowest X value

What is the slope if the change in Y is -2 and the change in X is 3?

• -2/3

• 2/3

• -3/2

• 3/2

If the X values change from 7 to 10, what is the change in X?

• 2

• -3

• 4

• 3

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

• The line is vertical

• The line is horizontal

• The line moves from bottom left to top right

• The line moves from top left to bottom right

How do you find the slope from a table of values?

• Calculate the total of all values

• Divide the change in Y by the change in X

• Multiply the first Y value by the last X value

• None of the above

What is the slope if both changes in Y and X are negative?

• Negative

• Positive

• Zero

• Undefined

In the context of slope, what does 'rise over run' refer to?

• The total distance covered vertically and horizontally

• None of the above

• The change in Y over the change in X

• The change in X over the change in Y

If the change in Y is -3 and the change in X is -4, what is the slope?

• -4/3

• 4/3

• -3/4

• 3/4

What does a positive slope indicate about the direction of the line on a graph?

• The line moves from top left to bottom right

• The line moves from bottom left to top right

• The line is horizontal

• The line is vertical
