Finding Slope On A Line…

line 1

 

In this post I will explain how to find slope on a line. If it goes downhill from left to right it is a negative slope. But, if it goes uphill from left to right the slope would be positive. In the image above you can tell that the slope is going to be positive just be looking at the image. The answer is always going to be in fraction form. The y axis is the number that you count upwards to get. The y axis is the number on the top of the fraction. The x axis is the number that you count sideways to get. The x axis is the number on the bottom of the fraction.

In the image above the answer to the slope would be 1/1 or another way to put it is 1.
