Question

How do you find slope on a coordinate plane

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Find the two points and plot them on the graph to determine their coordinates.

Step 2:

Determine the y-coordinate difference of the points also known as the rise.

Step 3:

Determine the x-coordinate difference of the two points also known as the run.

Step 4:

Divide the differences in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates.

REMEMBER!!! Rise over run.

RISE

RUN

Answer 2

Rise is the height. Run is right or left. It doesn't matter if you go left or right for the run because it always ends up with the same answer.

I put an example. 2 would be rise and 5 would be run. So the slope for that example is 2/5.

Steps.

1. Count the rise

2. Count the run

3. Put rise over run

4. That's your slope... rise/run
