Question

1. Find the slope of the line by counting the change in y and the change in x. (Remember, slope is rise over run).

Answer 1

Read from left to right. Looking at the left dot and then the right dot, how much does y change? (down is negative, up is positive)

Answer 2

-7

Answer 3

yes. and how much does x change?

Answer 4

note: if you read from left to right, your change in x will ALWAYS be positive

Answer 5

2

Answer 6

yes.
oops...the change in y should actually be -6. i think you just counted wrong
so the slope is -6 / 2 which simplifies to -3
