This week in math we focused in on slopes.

Here is an image of all the different slopes that we learned about.

We learned how to graph different slopes that we are given and we learned how to figure out the slope when given a set of numbers.

Here is an example:

When we are given and set a numbers and told to find the slope we can do one of two things to figure out the slope. My favourite way is to use a formula which is shown in the image below.

This formula can help us get the slope fast and efficiently but the only thing we have to be careful of is when we have an input number that is a negative. Thankfully in this specific question all of our numbers are positives.

In this image all i did was use the formula to solve. I labeled our input numbers so u can visually see where i got my X and Y numbers from. I plugged them in accordingly and our final step is just to simplify (if possible which it’s not in some questions) which left our answer to be 15/4.
