Answer:

A few examples:

0. 0

1. Undefined

2. -3/5

3. Undefined

...

7. 493

8. 5/2

....

Learn how to find the slope below for the other problems.

Explanation:

Slope is the rate of change for a linear function. It is found by subtracting the y values of two point on the line and dividing that difference by the difference of the x values of the points.

It can also be found using the formula y=mx+b known as the slope intercept form.

Here are a few examples:

0. This is a horizontal line which always has slope 0.

1. This is a vertical line which always has slope undefined.

2. Find two points that cross through a grid line intersection The line appears to cross them at (5,3) and (0,6). Count the unit squares between the two by counting up 3 and over to the left 5. Because it is left it is negative. The slope is -3/5

3. To find the slope, use the slope formula:


(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)=(6--4)/(-2--2)=(6+4)/(-2+2)=(10)/(0)=undefined

Since we can't divide by 0, it is undefined.

7. y=493x-257 follows the formula y=mx+b where m is the slope. m=493. The slope is 493.

8. Covert the equation into y=mx+b by rearranging the terms using y=mx+b.

5x-2y=48

-2y=48-5x

y=5/2 x -24

So the slope is 5/2.
