Line Segment (Graph) - Find Slope (Formula)

Level 1

This math topic focuses on teaching students how to calculate the slope of a line segment from a graph. It uses a formula, likely \( \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \), as indicated by the choices given (describing changes in y-values over changes in x-values). The problems provide line segments on Cartesian planes and ask students to select the correct slope computation formula. This helps students in understanding and applying the slope formula in practical scenarios, which is a fundamental skill in linear equations and graphing. Each problem offers multiple-choice answers that apply this formula in different orientations.
