Unit 5: Day 2-SLOPE AND RATE OF CHANGE

0

Identify the type of slope shown by each line on the graph.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Line A:		zero
Line B:		negative
Line C:		undefined
Line D:		positive

Notes:

Strategies to help remember the difference between a graph with an "undefined" and "zero" slope is “undefined” slope is straight “up and down”, and horizontal lines have a slope of zero.

Find the slope of the graphed line. The first line has points chosen for you, but practice choosing your own two points on the other examples.
