This math skill teaches how to find the slope of a line from its graph. It highlights that slope can be determined by calculating the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Find slope from a graph of a line
Test your understanding of find slope from a graph of a line by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's find the slope of the line shown here
🎙️
Slope is simply how far up, divided by how far to the right
🎙️
Our line goes up from 1 to 5. That's a change of 4. It goes right from 2 to 4. That's a change of 2
🎙️
Since it goes up 4, and right 2, that's a slope of 4 over 2, or 2.
