Name 2 ways to describe slope.

Possible answers: steepness of a line

 rate of change 

rise over run

 y - y /x - x 

slope = m in y = mx + b

300
Graph the following equation. Include at least 3 points. y = 1/3x + 4
Graph should start with the point at (0, 4) Movement should be 1 up and 3 to the right continuing to another point. Movement could also be 1 down and 3 to the left.
