Let's Graph It!

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

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...

Slope? Does that mean the angle of the line on the graph? Yes, but it's not referred to as an angle on the graph. The slope of the line means how much does the line move up or down in comparison as to how much it moves left or right. So,...

Fifth and sixth graders explore prime numbers. They work with a partner to build rectangular arrays using twelve tiles. Factor pairs are noted and recorded on graph paper. Pupils construct rectangular arrays with a prime number and...

Given a line on a graph, what's the slope of this line? First, identify two points on the given line. Then, use a formula to find the change in y and then the change in x. This will be represented by rise over run. Watch this video to...

How can two negative values create a positive slope? Rise over run, a negative divided by a negative. Watch the instructor explain just how that works.

Rise over run? The instructor explains two ways that a slope can be negative. It's not as complicated as you may think. Follow along on this lesson and see for yourself.

You have been given the value for the y-intercept and the slope of a line. Now you have to graph it. So draw a graph, plot your y-intercept and then count out your movement for slope. Don't forget to connect the dots and draw a line...

Do you know the formula for slope? Yes, rise over run. Then all you have to do is plug in the given values and solve for the slope of the ramp.

The teacher demonstrates how to plug in values from two given points to find the slope of a line. She uses the slope formula and goes through the problem step-by-step.
