Answer:

The slope is the rise over run. The change in y over the change in x. Pick two points on a line and find the change. It is usually represented by m in the slope intercept form.


m=(y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

Pick two points on a line and use the formula m to find the slope, which represents the rate of change.

If there’s a graph, draw a triangle and do rise/run.
If there are two given points use formula: (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) to find slope
