Formulas • Slope= rise/run • Change of y/change of x
Lattice Point • When finding the slope from an origin you can use the lattice point.
Triangle • The triangle method is another method used to find the slope.
First Way • You can find the slope in Three Ways that we learned. • 1st way: Rise/run • Count the rise • Yes, it is 2 • Count the run • Yes, it is -8 • We have 2/-8 when reduced it is -1/4
Second Way: Lattice Point • We see that the line crosses at (4,-2) and (-6,-2). • Remember: We can use the lattice points when the line does not cross the origin.
Third Way: Triangle • Use the two lattice points you have. • Connect them by forming a triangle.
Challenge: • Is this a positive slope or a negative slope?Why?
Challenge: • What is the slope?
