Understanding Slope from a Table

What is the primary goal when finding the slope from a table?

• To find the sum of all values

• To calculate the average of the points

• To identify the highest and lowest values

• To determine the ratio of vertical to horizontal changes

In the slope formula, what does the expression Y2 - Y1 represent?

• The total of Y values

• The change in Y values

• The sum of X and Y values

• The change in X values

When using the slope formula, what happens when you subtract a negative number?

• It becomes zero

• It becomes a positive number

• It becomes a larger negative number

• It remains the same

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

• 1.5

• 3

• 1

• 2

Why is it beneficial to use both methods for finding slope?

• To verify the results are consistent

• To avoid using formulas

• To make the process faster

• To confuse the students
