5. Slope is sometimes
referred to as the
“rate of change”
between 2 points.

6. used to represent slope.
The letter “m” is
used to represent slope.

7. If given 2 points on
a line, you may find
the slope using the
Formula….

8. Find the slope of the
line through the
points (3,7) and (5, 19).

9. (3, 4) and (-6, -2)

10. What if the
numerator is 0?
denominator is 0?

11. If given an equation
of a line, there are
2 ways to find the
slope and y-intercept.

12. One method is to write the equation in slope-intercept form,
which is y = mx + b.
slope
y-intercept

13. Find the slope and y-intercept of the following equations.

14. m = _____________ b = ____________

15. First, solve the equation for y.
