- Start at (2, 5) and (0, -1): m = ( -1 - 5 ) / ( 0 - 2 ) = ( -6 ) / ( -2 ) = 3. Move to the square labeled m = 3.
- From 5x - 15y = 10: Solve for y. 15y = 5x - 10 → y = (1/3)x - 2/3. Slope m = 1/3. Move to the square labeled m = 1/3.
- From the graph with a line passing through (0,0) and (4,4): m = (4 - 0)/(4 - 0) = 1. Move to the square labeled m = 1.
- From (4, -8) and (4, -3): x-coordinates are the same, so the line is vertical. Slope m is undefined. Move to the square labeled m = undefined.
- From the table with x: 2, 4, 6, 8 and y: 1, 2, 3, 4: m = (2 - 1)/(4 - 2) = 1/2. Move to the square labeled m = 1/2.
- From (5, 3) and (10, 5): m = (5 - 3)/(10 - 5) = 2/5. Move to the square labeled m = 2/5.
- From the horizontal line graph: y is constant, so slope m = 0. Move to the square labeled m = 0.
- Arrive at FINISHED!
