Find the slope of the line below. If necessary, use a slash ( / ) to indicate a division bar.
no line here. But the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x start at a point. count up (or down) to get to the level of the second point. that is the change in y. count over to get the change in x.
here is the graph
so start at the first point at (-1,-4). how far up do you have to go to get the the 2nd point?
I think 3 idk
do you see the tick marks on the y-axis? count up using those.
nine
are you sure? I see 8
You count how many steps up (so the first tick mark does not count) think if you were walking, how many steps?
now count how many tick marks on the x-axis to get from the 1st point to the 2nd point
the slope will be how far up divided by how far over you got 8 for how far up. what about how far over?
