Finding Slope (Part 1)

Assignment # _____ More Practice Finding Slope Name ___________________________

Standard: AF 3.3 Know that the ratio (“rise over run”) is Pre-Algebra, Period _________

called the slope of a graph

Remember: slope = Date ____________________________

When finding slope: find the RISE 2 (vertical: up or down) then find the RUN 1 (horizontal: left or right).

Also, negative slopes can have the negative sign on the top OR bottom of the ratio.

For example can be written as or .

Find the slope of each line. Simplify the slope or write it as an integer if you can.

Through each point draw a line that has the slope shown below the grid. Use a ruler.

In each problem, first plot the given point. Then use a ruler to draw a line through the point with the given slope.
