Find the slope of the following graphs?
time to review slopes.
slope = ∆y/∆x
Take two points on the line.
Divide how far it went up between them by how far it moved right between them.
If it is not a straight line, then the question makes no sense because the slope changes.
To find the slope of a graph, you need to determine the ratio of the change in the y-values to the corresponding change in the x-values. This is expressed as "rise over run" or "change in y divided by change in x."
Here's how you can find the slope:
1. Select two points on the graph. Make sure these points are clearly defined and have distinct x and y coordinates.
2. Determine the change in the y-values by subtracting the y-coordinate of the first point from the y-coordinate of the second point.
3. Determine the change in the x-values by subtracting the x-coordinate of the first point from the x-coordinate of the second point.
4. Divide the change in y-values by the change in x-values to find the slope. This can be written as: slope = (change in y) / (change in x).
5. Simplify the slope if necessary. If the numbers have a common factor, divide both the change in y and change in x by that factor.
Following these steps should enable you to find the slope of any linear graph.
