Question

Find the slope. 1.) (-4, -18), (-2, -10) 2.) (-19, 3), (7, 16)

Answer 1

To find the slope, use rise over run.

1) The difference between x values is 2. This is the run. 
    The difference between y values is 8. This is the rise. 
    8 over 2, or 8 divided by 2, is 4. The slope is 4. 

1) The difference between x values is 26. This is the run. 
    The difference between y values is 13. This is the rise. 
    13 over 26, or 13 divided by 26, is 1/2. The slope is 1/2. 

Hope this helps!
