Question

How do you find slope on a graph?

Answer 1

slope = rise/run

Explanation:

Select any two points on the graph

slope = rise/run

Answer 2

Explanation:

Select any two random points on the graph of the line (preferably with integer coordinates).

Label them as A and B (in any order).

Calculate the "rise" from A to B. While going vertically from A to B, if we have to go

"up", then the rise is positive;

"down", then the rise is negative.

Calculate the "run" from A to B. While going horizontally from A to B, if we have to go

"right", then the run is positive;

"left", then the run is negative.

Now, use the formula: slope = rise/run.
