Interpreting the slope equation

Slope of a Line

Using the intereactive image on the next page, you will be learning about the equation for slope of a line. There are 7 buttons for you to follow along with and 1 invisible button for you to find. In this activity, you will have audio that you need to listen to, a video to watch with a question to answer, and a practice problem.

Directions

You will be able to interpret the slope equation (y=mx+b).

Objective

y=mx+b

Using this graph, what would the equation of this line be?

Listen to the audio to know what this equation means. This is another way to find the slope. It is important to know that when looking at the points on a graph in (x,y) form that y2 will always go with x2 and y1 will always go with x1.

Watch this video and then answer the question. In this video, what is another name that he calls the slope (m) of the line?
