The point that hits the y-axis

300

How do you find slope?

Rise over Run (Rise/Run) 

300

What is the independent variable?

What you change in the experiment
400

What tool is used for measuring mass?

A scale/balance

400

What unit do we use to measure the mass of a rock?

grams

400

What is a line of best fit?

400

Calculate the slope of a line that has a Rise of 3 and a Run of 6.

3/6 or 1/2 or 0.5

400

What is the Dependent Variable?
