Lesson Overview

About this worksheet

The slope of a line measures its steepness as rise over run, the change in y divided by the change in x. This worksheet teaches the slope formula and the meaning of positive, negative, and zero slope, then has students compute slope from coordinate pairs.

The reference box and Section A are on page 1. The reference box works one example and explains the sign of the slope. Section A has six pairs of points to find the slope between. Section B on page 2 has four word problems, including a ramp.

Page 3 is a complete answer key with worked answers for every problem. The worksheet pairs well with the Coordinate Plane Basics and Line Graphs worksheets.
