Find slope from two points practice
Divide vertical change by horizontal change using consistent point order.
Opening your practice adventure…
Try a sample
What is the slope of a line through (2, 2) and (3, 8)?
- 6
- 5
- 8
- 10
See the answer & why
6
Slope = change in y ÷ change in x = 6 ÷ 1 = 6.
A little hint: Use the same point order in both differences.
A teaching tip
Subtract y coordinates in the same order as x coordinates.
