Question

In your own words, explain the steps you would need to take to find slope from data in a table.

The sample response is… Start by choosing two data points. Calculate the difference between the second y value and the first y value. Then divide that by the difference between the second x value and the first x value.

But at the end it says you should include this info… Choose two sets of data (x and y values). Calculate the difference between the two y values. Calculate the difference between the corresponding two x values. Slope is the difference in y values / difference in x values.

Use this information to your advantage.
Hope this helps! :))

Answer 1

thank you, this helps a lot!! I think I’m ready for my math test now ☺️

Answer 2

Take two pairs for example (1,1) and (2,2) and then put y coordinates over x coordinates in like a fraction and then subtract them. Once the y coordinate have been subtracted from each other and the x coordinates have been subtracted from each other then divide the top from the bottom.
