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.

Each of the line segments in the word MATH are numbered in the graph below. Find the

slope (as a ratio of rise over run) of each line segment. Show your work.
