This week i learned about Slopes, i also learned a really helpful way of remembering the way to find a slope. The formula to find a slope is rise, which is the y-axis and run which is the x-axis. the formula is rise over run and to keep me remembering that is you need to rise up in order to run. here is an example of finding the slope using rise over run. For this example i started from the left and i counted the y-axis (which was negative one because i went down a line) and counted across 2. so i know the slope of the line is -1/2.
