Steps for Finding Slope

1) Choose two points from the table or graph.2) Label one point A and one point B3) Draw a line from point A to the x­axis. Record the number XA.4) Draw a line from point B to the x ­axis. Record the number XB.5) Find the value of XB ­ XA6) Draw a line from point A to the y­axis. Record the number YA.7) Draw a line from point B to the y ­axis. Record the number YB.8) Find the value of YB ­ YA9) Find 

slope = change in Y change in X

What does the slope of a line mean?

slope = Change in dependant variable     Change in independant variable

  = Change in y      Change in x

  = y2 ­ y1        x2 ­ x1

  = Δ y     Δ x

Δ is a symbol that means "change in"

How much "y" changes for when "x" changes.
