Slope of a Line Practice AK
What is the slope in the following equations?
- $y=4x+2 \rightarrow m=4$
- $y=-3x-1\rightarrow m=-3$
- $y=\dfrac{1}{2}x+7\rightarrow m=\dfrac{1}{2}$
- $2y=4x+12\rightarrow m=2$
- $6x-y=5\rightarrow m=6$
- $-3y-7=2x\rightarrow m=\dfrac{-2}{3}$
Find the slope of the line that passes through the following two points:
- (3,4) and (8,9)=$\rightarrow\dfrac{9-4}{8-3}=\dfrac{5}{5}=\mathbf{1}$
- (-2,3) and (-4,7)$\rightarrow\dfrac{7-3}{-4--2}=\dfrac{4}{-2}=\mathbf{-2}$
- (-6,-2) and (1,1)$\rightarrow\dfrac{1--2}{1--6}=\mathbf{\dfrac{3}{7}}$
- (1,2) and (-3, -4)$\rightarrow\dfrac{-4-2}{-3-1}=\dfrac{-6}{-4}=\mathbf{\dfrac{3}{2}}$
- (9,2) and the origin$\rightarrow\dfrac{0-2}{0-9}=\dfrac{-2}{-9}=\mathbf{\dfrac{2}{9}}$
- (3,3) and (3,7)$\rightarrow\dfrac{7-3}{3-3}=\dfrac{4}{0}=\mathbf{\text{undefined}}$
