SLOPE OF A LINE #1

Directions: The slope of a line measures the steepness of a graph.  To calculate the slope, you must find the quotient of the rise and run of the line.  The rise measures the vertical change, or change in y-coordinates, between the two points.  The run measures the horizontal change, or change in x-coordinates, between the two points.  Find the slope of each line below.  You can express the slope as a simplified fraction, a whole number, or a decimal.
