FINDING SLOPE FROM THE GRAPH

The slope of a line is the measure of the steepness and the direction of the line.

The slope of any line can be calculated using any two distinct points lying on the line. The slope of a line formula calculates the ratio of the "vertical change" to the "horizontal change" between two distinct points on a line.

Methods of finding slope :

Find the slope of each line.

Problem 1 :

Solution :

Since it is falling line, it will have negative slope.

Slope (m) = Rise/Run

= -1/3

Problem 2 :

Solution :

Since it is raising line, it will have positive slope.

Slope (m) = Rise/Run

= 3/1

Problem 3 :

Solution :

Since it is falling line, it will have negative slope.

Slope (m) = Rise/Run

= -3/2

Problem 4 :

Solution :

Since it is raising line, it will have positive slope.

Slope (m) = Rise/Run

= 3/2

Problem 5 :

Solution :

Since it is raising line, it will have positive slope.

Slope (m) = Rise/Run

= 5/3

Problem 6 :

Solution :

Since it is raising line, it will have positive slope.

Slope (m) = Rise/Run

= 7/3
