Slope: Lesson Three Slope From Tables

This document discusses slope and how to calculate it from tables and graphs. Slope represents the rate of change of a line and is calculated by rise over run. A positive slope means the line rises from left to right, a negative slope means it falls, a zero slope means the line is horizontal, and undefined means there is no line. The key formula given to find slope from a table is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), using two points from the table. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating slope from tables using this formula.

RECAP

What is Slope?
Slope is the rate of change of a line

rise
slope 
run
y
slope 
(change in y)

x
(change in x)

What does the line look like when…
• You have positive slope?

• You have negative slope?

• You have zero slope?

• You have NO slope?

M. Pickens 2006

What Type of Slope is Shown?

Positive Slope
Negative Slope

Slope of a Graph
• When slope is positive or negative
we need to find the actual value of
the slope or rate of change.
• On a graph we find slope using the
formula.
How far up or
rise down it changes

slope  How far left or


run right it changes

M. Pickens 2006
Slope of a Graph

1. First pick two points


on the line
The points need to be
where the lines cross Rise = 2
so they are integers
Run = 3
2. Then find the rise
and run
3. Determine if the
slope of the line is rise 2
positive or negative slope  

Slope of a Graph

1. First pick two points


on the line
The points need to be
where the lines cross
so they are integers Rise = 10
2. Then find the rise
and run
3. Determine if the
slope of the line is Run = 2
positive or negative
rise 10

Slope from a Table
You can find the slope of a line if the points from
the line are put into a table. We use a special
formula.

Slope Formula
We can use the slope formula to find the
slope from a table. Here it is. Copy it into
your notes. You will need to learn this
formula as you will be using it often.

y2 – y1
slope =
x2 – x1

M. Pickens 2006
Slope from a Table
• In a table we can find the rate of change by
finding the change in y and the change in x.
• We can use any two points from the table that
show some form of pattern.
Pick any two rows.
x y If it is linear it will be the same
no matter which two rows you pick
