what is Slope in Algebra 1 ?

Question

I am confused, please help me, I don't know so much about this 😀 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HELPING ME !!

Answer 1

Slope means how much you rise (move vertically) on a graph divided by how much you run (move horizontally) on a graph.

Answer 2

The slope of a line is the change in y over the change in x ...rise/run. So if you're given two points say (2,4) and (5.6) on a straight line, then the slope is y₂-y_1/x₂-x_{1 = (6-4)/(5-2)=2/3.}

Answer 3

slope = "rise over run" = change in y value divided by change in x value

if, for example, you have two points (2,4) and (4,8) the slope = (8-4)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2

the line through the two points is y=2x where the coefficient of the x term = the slope = 2

Answer 4

In Algebra 1 slope is a ratio (fraction) that compares the change in the y-direction (up or down) to the change in the x-direction (left or right).

For example, a line goes from point (-1, 6) to the point (4, 8). The change in y is 5 and the change in x is 2. The slope is 5/2.
