Understanding Slope from a Graph

What is the slope of a line if the rise is 3 and the run is 6?

• 1/2

• 1/3

• 2

• 3

When identifying points on a graph to calculate slope, what is important about the points you choose?

• They should be at the ends of the line.

• They should cross the grid perfectly.

• They should be far apart.

• They should be close to each other.

If a line goes up 2 units and over 4 units, what is the slope of the line?

• 1/4

• 1/2

• 2

• 1

In the second problem, what is the rise if the line goes down 1 unit?

• 2

• -1

• 0

• 1

What is the slope of a line if the rise is -2 and the run is 4?

• -2

• 2

• -1/2

• 1/2
