Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Show all your work for full credit.
1. Which of the following lines has a positive slope?
A horizontal line
A vertical line
A line going up from left to right
A line going down from left to right
2. What is the formula for calculating the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?
m = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)
m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
m = x / y
m = y / x
3. A line with a slope of zero is a line.
4. A vertical line has an slope.
5. The 'rise' in rise over run refers to the change in the coordinates.
6. Plot the points (1, 2) and (4, 8) on the graph below. Then, draw a line connecting them and calculate the slope of the line. Show your work.
