The slope is always the change of output (y) divided by the input (x). It is also described as "rise over run". "m" It is the variable in the y =mx + b or slope intercept form. SLOPE (m) Constant Rate of Change The slope is always the change of output (y) divided by the input (x). It is also described as "rise over run". It is the variable "m" in the y =mx + b or slope intercept form. Slope NO Slope NO Slope Slope Slope NO Slope NO Slope NO Slope NO Slope Slope Slope Slope 2
Y INTERCEPT The intersecting point on the y axis The y intercept is always on the y axis. It is the "b" variable "b" in the y =mx + b or b slope intercept form. b b b b b b 3

Draw a line through the point (1,2) with the slope of -3/2 First plot the point on a coordinate plane. Find another point using slope -3/2 (remember what does -3/2 as the slope mean?) Draw a line through the points! 15
Try this! Graph the line through the point (2,-3) with slope 5/4 16
Pull When given an equation such as y=mx+b slope is the coefficient to x. (m) ALWAYS! Dependent/independent variable? 17
What is the slope of the given equation (function)? y = 4x + 6 m = 4 y = 1/3x 9 m = 1/3 18
y = x + 3/4 m = 1 4x + 2y = 16 4x = 4x + 16 2y = 4x + 16 2 2 2 y = 2x + 8 m = 2 19

RECAP! How do you find slope if you are given a graph? How do you find slope if you are given an equation? What might you have to do to the equation first? How do you find slope if given two points from the line? What do the little 2's & 1's mean in the slope formula? 21
