How to Find Slope from a Graph?
- Choose two points on the line whose coordinates are integers. This makes calculations easier.
- Draw a right triangle from the first point to the second point. This helps you count the rise and run.
- Count the rise (change in `y`-coordinates) and the run (change in `x`-coordinates) on the legs of the triangle.
- Use the slope formula: `m = \frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}`
- Simplify the expression to get the slope. If the line is vertical, the slope is undefined, and if it is horizontal, the slope is `0`.
