How to Find the Slope of a Line

This resource should be called "All About Lines, and Then Some!". Packed full of all the key components of linear functions, learners review how to set up different equations, find intercepts, and graph. All the main topics are included...

Your young mathematicians will appreciate this wonderfully organized summary and explanation of linear slope. Approaching slope as it looks in a table of values, on a graph, in an equation, and between two points, this note sheet is...

What does a slope of 2/3 mean? Develop an understanding of the key features of a linear function. Pupils graph the linear functions and explain the meaning of the slope and intercepts of the graphs. 

Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The lesson follows a...

Encourage kids to read line graphs with confidence using these examples and accompanying comprehension questions. Learners examine two graphs and answer four questions about each. This is definitely intended for beginners to this type of...

Here is fairly basic video that takes three equations, each written in slope-intercept form, with the goal of determining whether the lines are parallel.  Sal graphs each of the equations on the same coordinate plane to show how their...

This time, try graphing three segments. Another Mathispower4u Algebra I Video provides an additional example on graphing a piecewise function. Pupils observe how to graph a function that is made from two constant functions and one linear...

Sal trades his tablet for an Excel spreadsheet in this video, which covers fitting data to a line. Using a word problem about median income, he not only solves the problem but demonstrates how to successfully use scatter plots and Excel...

Given two points on a line, find the value for slope using the rise over run formula. Then find the y-intercept by plugging one of the point values into the equation of a line. Finally, put these values into the equation of a line y =...

Here is an introductory lesson to get a sense of the slope of a line, whether positive or negative, and the meaning of the y-intercept. Several examples of changes in slope are shown on a graph and the instructor relates it to how the...
