Question

Need help please??

Find the slope of the line by counting the change in y and the change in x.

Answer 1

What are the coordinates of the red dot on the left?

Answer 2

3,0 right or 3

Answer 3

The point is (-3,0). Put your pencil on that point. Count the number of squares you have to go up and the number of squares you have to go to the right to get to the second red dot.

Answer 4

6 to the right and 2 up

Answer 5

Did you notice that I told you to count the number of squares you have to go up and THEN the number of squares you have to go to the right?

Answer 6

2 up 6 to the right my bad

Answer 7

And you should also notice that your teacher told you to count the change in y and the change in x to find the slope

Answer 8

So since slope is change in y over change in x, you can find your slope:
\[\frac{change \in y}{change \in x}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3} = slope\]

Answer 9

got it

Answer 10

how did you get the one over 3

Answer 11

Reduce the 2/6
