Finding the slope of a line from a graph Watch the video BEFORE you begin your work. Sort the following images based on if they have a negative slope or a positive slope. Negative Slope -2 -5 -3 Positive Slope 6 4 7 Watch this video for more information on finding slope from a graph. Match each graphed line with its slope. Be sure to check if the slope should be negative or positive. Be sure to use the vertical change (change in y) as your numerator and the horizontal change (change in x) as your denominator. 5 -5 1 -3 4 Click the dots and label the slope of each line Choose from the following:Undefined 0 2 1 -3 1 2 0 Undefined -3 Write your response in the space below.
