Slope is the steepness of a line. (vertical change over horizontal change). It can also be defined as rise over run Y 2 – Y 1 X 2 – X 1 m =

Example Given the ordered pairs (-2, -2) and (4, 1), find the slope of the line that passes through these points.

Determine the slope of the line. rise/run = 3/6 = 1/2 6 3 Graph the points (-2, -2) and (4, 1) and apply “rise over run”.

(5, 4) and (1, 1) Positive Slope

Negative Slope (1, -1) and (5, -4)

Find the slope of the following points: (0, -1) and (-2, -1) Horizontal or Zero Slope

(-2, -3) and (-2, 3) Vertical or Undefined Slope

Find the slope by counting units and by using the slope formula:
