Practice Slope in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A measure of how steep a line is; the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change.

How much the line goes up for every step to the right. Steeper = bigger slope.

Example 1

easy
Find the slope of the line passing through points (2, 3) and (6, 11).

Example 2

easy
Find the slope of the line through (1, 4) and (5, 12).

Example 3

medium
A line passes through (3, 7) and (3, -2). What is its slope?

Example 4

medium
Find the slope of the line passing through (2, 5) and (6, 13).

Example 5

hard
A line has slope -\frac{3}{4} and passes through (0, 5). Find the y-value when x = 8.
