Texas Instruments: Finding Slope Using Rise Over Run
Students seem to have trouble finding the slope of a line using rise over run. This activity will allow the students to find slope of lines and tell the difference between lines of positive, negative, zero and undefined slope.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Linear Functions: Slope Using Coordinates
Students learn that the slope is ratio of change in y to the change in x. They find the slope of a line using the slope formula, and examine the characteristics of lines with positive, zero, negative, or non-defined slope.
