Slope Notes

Slope describes the steepness and direction of a line. It can be found from a graph by choosing two points and calculating the rise over run, from an equation by taking the coefficient of the x-term, or from a table by calculating the rate of change between the x and y values. Slope can also be determined from a word problem by identifying key rate of change terms and plugging points into the slope formula.
