Since I can't view or access uploaded images directly, I can’t see the specific graphs or coordinates in your worksheet. However, I can help you
solve the problem and
explain how to find the slope of a line segment on a coordinate grid, which is what this worksheet appears to be about.

🔍 Understanding the Task
The worksheet asks you to:
- Identify the
slope of each line segment (like PQ, QR, etc.) that forms a triangle on a coordinate plane.
- Use the
slope formula to calculate the slope between two points.

📐 Slope Formula
For any two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$, the
slope $m$ is:
$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
$$
This is often remembered as
"rise over run" — how much the line goes up (or down) divided by how much it goes right (or left).

✔ Steps to Solve Each Problem:
1.
Identify the coordinates of the endpoints of the line segment (e.g., point P and Q).
2.
Apply the slope formula using those coordinates.
3.
Simplify the fraction if needed.
4.
Write the answer in the blank provided.

🧮 Example (Hypothetical)
Let’s say in problem 1:
- Point P is at $(1, 1)$
- Point Q is at $(4, 5)$
Then:
$$
\text{Slope of } PQ = \frac{5 - 1}{4 - 1} = \frac{4}{3}
$$
So, Slope of PQ = $ \frac{4}{3} $

🔄 General Tips:
- If the line goes
up from left to right, the slope is
positive.
- If it goes
down from left to right, the slope is
negative.
- If it's
horizontal, slope = 0.
- If it's
vertical, slope is
undefined (division by zero).

📝 How to Fill Out the Worksheet:
For each triangle:
1. Label all vertices with their coordinates.
2. For each side (e.g., PQ, QR, RP), use the slope formula.
3. Write the result in the corresponding blank.

❓ Need Help With Specific Problems?
If you can
describe one of the graphs (e.g., "In problem 1, triangle has points P(1,1), Q(4,5), R(1,5)"), I can walk you through calculating all slopes step-by-step.
Alternatively, you can
type in the coordinates of each point for any triangle, and I’ll compute the slopes for you.
