Math Problem Statement
How to find the slope of a line from its graph?
Solution
The question in the image asks:
"How to find the slope of a line from its graph?"
The options are:
- a) rise / run
- b) run / rise
- c) None of the above
Correct Answer:
The correct way to find the slope of a line from its graph is to divide the "rise" (the vertical change) by the "run" (the horizontal change). This gives the slope as:
Thus, the correct answer is a) rise / run.

- What does a positive slope indicate about the direction of a line?
- How do you find the slope if the graph has two specific points?
- What does a slope of zero represent in the context of a line's graph?
- How do you interpret the slope when it is a negative value?
- What is the relationship between slope and the angle of a line in a graph?
Tip: Always remember that a larger "rise" compared to "run" indicates a steeper line, while a smaller "rise" leads to a flatter line.
