The formula for slope is vertical change ÷ horizontal change, which means choose two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), then do (y2-y1) ÷ (x2-x1).

For the graph, just pick two random points that you like. For the table, pick two sets of numbers (for example -10,-47 and 4,9). For the equation, create two sets of coordinates. For example, if you have f(x) = x + 3, then if x = 1, y = 4 and if x = 2, y = 5.
