Answer 1

Pick two points on the graph, one after the other. The change in y between those two coordinates divided by the change in x coordinates is the slope. Can you tell me what the change in y is for the graph?

Answer 2

zero?

Answer 3

Yes! What's 0 divided by the change in x for any two points?

Answer 4

im not sure

Answer 5

Anywhere along a straight line, the slope will be the same. Look at (0,-1) and (2,-1) on the graph. What's the change in x between those two points?

Answer 6

-1?

Answer 7

The coordinates are written (x,y)
