- 4. Slope = m = Rise Run
- 5. Use the graph to find the slope of each line. 5. AB 4 2 Slope 4 = 2 2 7. EF Slope Zero
- 6. Use the graph to find the slope of each line. 9. IJ -5 2 Slope -5 2 11. MN Undefined
- 7. Find the slope of each line. 13. Rise: -5; Run: -5 -5 = -5 15. Rise: -3; Run: 4 -3 4 1
- 8. Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1
- 9. Find the slope of the line containing each pair of points. 17. A (3, 9), B(1, 5) Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 x 1, y 1 x 2, y 2 5 - 9 = 1 - 3 -4 = -2 2
- 10. Find the slope of the line containing each pair of points. 19. A (-3, 10), B(-5, -4) Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 x 1, y 1 x 2, y 2 -4 - 10 = -5 - (-3) -14 = -2 7
- 11. Find the slope of the line containing each pair of points. 21. A (3, -2), B(-1, 3) Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 x 1, y 1 x 2, y 2 3 - (-2) = -1 - 3 5 -4
- 12. Find the slope of the line containing each pair of points. 23. A (1, 8), B(-1, 7) Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 x 1, y 1 x 2, y 2 7 - 8 = -1 - 1 -1 = -2 1 2
- 13. Find the slope of the line containing each pair of points. 25. A (0, 4), B(3, -2) Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 x 1, y 1 x 2, y 2 -2 - 4 = 3 - 0 -6 = 3 -2
- 14. Find the slope of the line containing each pair of points. 27. A (-9, 9), B(7, -2) Slope = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 x 1, y 1 x 2, y 2 -2 - 9 = 7 - (-9) -11 16
