Algebra I Exercises: The Slope of a Line

By B Horn

Directions and/or Common Information:

Determine the slope using rise/run.

Directions and/or Common Information:

Use the two points and the equation (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) to find the slope of the line that goes through them both.
(2, 1) (5, 1)
(9, 8) (4, -6)

(2, -3) (1, -2)

(3, -2) (8, -1)
(-4, 6) (-4, 3)
(2, 4) (9, 2)
(-9, -4) (6, -1)
(9, 2) (-5, -2)

Directions and/or Common Information:

Graph the line that contains the given information.
slope = 2   (2, 4)
slope = -1/2   (-1, 2)
m = 1/8   (5, -3)
m = 3/7   (6, -1)
m = -3/8   (5, -5)
