1 Objective- To find the slope of a line given two points. Graph y = 2x - 3 x y -3 -2 0 1 2 3 -9 -7 -5 -3 1 3 x y y = 2x - 3

2 Objective- To find the slope of a line given two points. x y y = 2x - 3 Slope of a line Slope (m) = vertical change horizontal change Slope (m) rise run Slope (m) = = y x = +2+2 +1+1 +2+2 +1+1 m = 2 -2-2 -4-4 -4-4 -2-2 = y-intercept = -3

3 Find the slope of the line below. x y Slope (m) rise run = +1+1 +3+3 Slope (m) = +1+1 +3+3 m = 1 3

4 Find the slope of the line below. x y Slope (m) rise run = +3+3 +2+2 Slope (m) = +3+3 +2+2 m = 3 2

5 Find the slope of the line below. x y Slope (m) rise run = -1 +4+4 Slope (m) = -1 +4+4 m = -1 4

6 Find the slope of the line below. x y Slope (m) rise run = -4-4 +2+2 Slope (m) = -4-4 +2+2 m = - 2

7 Find the slope of the line below. x y Slope (m) rise run = +2+2 +5+5 Slope (m) = +2+2 +5+5 m = 2 5

8 Find the slope of the line below. x y Slope (m) rise run = -4-4 +1+1 Slope (m) = -4-4 +1+1 m = - 4

9 Algebraic Method to Find Slope Given Two Points y Slope (m) rise run = Slope (m) y x = = (1,2) ( - 2, - 3) y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 2 1 Slope (m) = 2 - - 3 1 - - 2 Slope (m) = 5 3 m = 5 3

10 Algebraic Method to Find Slope Given Two Points Slope (m) = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 m = 7 - 3 4 - - 1 m = 4 5 Find the slope between (-1,3) and (4,7). 12

11 Algebraic Method to Find Slope Given Two Points m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 m = 7 - 5 - 1 - 6 m = -2-2 7 Find the slope between (6,5) and (-1,7). 12

12 Algebraic Method to Find Slope Given Two Points m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 m = 7 - 1 - 8 - 4 m = 6 - 12 m = -1 2 Find the slope between (-8,7) and (4,1). 21

13 Slope of Horizontal and Vertical Lines y x y x Horizontal LinesVertical lines y = 2 x = - 3 m = 0 m = undefined

14 Slope of Horizontal and Vertical Lines y x y x x = - 3 (-2,2)(1,2) (-2,2) (1,2) (-3,2) (-3,-1) (-3,2) (-3, -1) Horizontal LinesVertical lines y = 2

15 Slope of Horizontal and Vertical Lines m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 12 m = 2 - 2 1 - - 2 m = 0 3 m = 0 m = 0 for all Horizontal Lines m = y 2 - y 1 x 2 - x 1 12 m = - 1 - 2 - 3 - - 3 m = -3-3 0 m = undefined or there is “no slope” m = undefined for all Vertical Lines Watch Out!
