By K Dodd

Directions and/or Common Information:

Use the following graph of lines a, b, and c to answer questions 1 - 3.
  a    c
b

Approximate the slope of line c.

Approximate the slope of line b.

Approximate the slope of line a.

Directions and/or Common Information:

For questions 1 - 4, find the slope of the line that passes between the given points.

(-6, 1) and (-2, 5)

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

(1/2, 3) and (7, -1)

(0, 1) and (4, 3)

Directions and/or Common Information:

Choose the correct graph for each equation. All graphs are shown in a standard window:

xmin=-10, xmax=10
ymin=-10, ymax=10

Through (5, -6) with slope -4/3

Through (-1, 4) with slope 1/4.
