Read each question carefully and calculate the slope (m) of the line passing through the given two points. Show all your work.
1. The formula to calculate the slope (m) of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m = .
2. Slope is often described as 'rise over run', where 'rise' refers to the change in the -coordinates and 'run' refers to the change in the -coordinates.
3. Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (3, 7) and (5, 11).
4. Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-2, 4) and (6, 0).
5. Which of the following represents the slope of the line passing through (1, -3) and (4, 3)?
-2
1/2
2
-1/2
6. Plot the points (0, 5) and (4, 1) on the coordinate plane below. Draw a line connecting them and then calculate the slope of the line.
