Types of Slope
Which graph or graphs on your sheet have a positive slope?
2, 4, and 6
Find the slope of a line that contains these two points:
(3, 3) and (6, 4)
3
Find the slope of graph number 4
m = 1
Find the y-intercept from the equation:
y = 3x - 5
b = -5
Which graph has m = -2 and b = -4?
Graph number 1
Which graph or graphs on your sheet have a negative slope?
1 and 3
Find the slope of a line that contains these two points:

Find the slope of graph number 5
m = 0
Find the y-intercept of graph number 3
b = 1
Which graph has this equation:
y = -1/4 x + 1
Graph number 3
Which graph on your sheet has a slope = 0
number 5

(9, 1) and (9, -5)
undefined
Find the slope of graph number 6
m = 3
Find the y-intercept of graph number 4
b = 0
Which graph has this equation:
y = 3x + 9
Graph number 6
If you keep going up 3, over 1 from the given points, you will find that the line would cross the y-axis at (0, 9)
