Math 10 - Lesson 1 - Slope Introduction

The document explains how to calculate the slope of a line using two points. It provides the formula for slope as "rise over run" or (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where the points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). The document also includes examples of lines with two points provided and the slope calculated.

1 - Slope

1. Choose two points on the line.


Point 1: ( , )
Point 2: ( , )
We use these points to find the slope of the line.

The equation for the slope of the line is:


Slope = rise = y2 – y1
run x2 – x1
Find the slope of the line using the points we found before:

X1 = X2 =
Y1 = Y2 =

Slope = ( )–( )=
( )–( )
