Steps • When given two points, create a t-chart • Subtract the Y-intercept first from top to bottom • Subtract the X-intercept first from top to bottom • Reduce the fraction Equation: Known as: 4.4 - Finding Slope
Example 1 What is the slope of this table? Will it rise, fall, horizontal, or vertical? 3 – (5) = –2 10 – (12) = –2 5 – (6) = –1 12 – (13) = –1 6 – (10) = –4 13 – (17) = –4 4.4 - Finding Slope
Example 2 What is the slope of these two points, (–1, 3) and (2, –2)? Will it rise, fall, horizontal, or vertical? Create a t-chart & solve for slope –1 – (2) = –3 3 – (–2) = 5 4.4 - Finding Slope
