Slope from a Graph
8th Grade•15 minutes
Learning Objective
I can determine the slope of a line from a graph.
Key Concepts
The slope of a line tells us how steep the line is.
Slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x.
When finding slope from a graph, any two points on the line can be used as long as you are consistent with your calculations.
