Example problems

Taken from the generator that powers this exercise. A fresh set appears every time the page is opened, and the printable worksheet holds ten of them.

  1. Read the slope of the line shown on the graph.

About this exercise

Reading a slope directly off a graph.

How to solve it

Pick two points where the line passes exactly through grid corners, then divide the rise by the run.

Worked example

A line rising 2 for every 4 across has a slope of one half.

Common mistake

Reading points that are not on the gridlines. Estimated points give an estimated slope.
