Math Problem Statement
Find the slope of the line graphed below.
Solution
To determine the slope of the line in the given graph, we will use the formula for slope:
Looking at the graph, we can identify two points where the line passes through grid intersections:
- Point 1:
- Point 2:
Now, we will apply these coordinates to the slope formula:
Thus, the slope of the line is 1.

- How do we find the slope when the line is vertical or horizontal?
- What happens to the slope if the line is steeper or flatter?
- Can we determine the slope from the equation of a line without a graph?

- What role does the slope play in linear equations?
Tip: The slope of a line tells you how much the line rises or falls as you move horizontally from one point to another.
