Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Calculating Slope and Finding Slope Direction Worksheets
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Calculate Slope from Points" with an answer key, and it's focused on finding the slope of a line given two points on a coordinate plane. Let's go through each problem step-by-step to understand how the slope is calculated and verify the answers.

🔷 What is Slope?



The slope (m) of a line passing through two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is calculated using the formula:

$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
$$

This is often referred to as "rise over run".

Let’s analyze each of the four problems shown in the image.

🟦 Problem 1: Top Left Graph



- Points: $(-6, 6)$ and $(0, -6)$
- Using the formula:
$$
m = \frac{-6 - 6}{0 - (-6)} = \frac{-12}{6} = -2
$$
- Answer provided: -2 → Correct.

---

🟨 Problem 2: Top Right Graph



- Points: $(-4, -4)$ and $(2, 3)$
- Calculate:
$$
m = \frac{3 - (-4)}{2 - (-4)} = \frac{3 + 4}{2 + 4} = \frac{7}{6}
$$
- Answer provided: $\frac{7}{6}$ → Correct.

---

🟩 Problem 3: Bottom Left Graph



- Points: $(-5, -2)$ and $(5, -4)$
- Calculate:
$$
m = \frac{-4 - (-2)}{5 - (-5)} = \frac{-4 + 2}{5 + 5} = \frac{-2}{10} = -\frac{1}{5}
$$
- Answer provided: $-\frac{1}{5}$ → Correct.

---

🟪 Problem 4: Bottom Right Graph



- Points: $(-2, 4)$ and $(2, -3)$
- Calculate:
$$
m = \frac{-3 - 4}{2 - (-2)} = \frac{-7}{4} = -\frac{7}{4}
$$
- Answer provided: $-\frac{7}{4}$ → Correct.

Final Check



All four slopes have been correctly calculated:

| Problem | Points | Slope Calculation | Answer |
|--------|--------------------|--------------------------|--------|
| 1 | (-6,6), (0,-6) | $ \frac{-12}{6} = -2 $ | -2 |
| 2 | (-4,-4), (2,3) | $ \frac{7}{6} $ | $ \frac{7}{6} $ |
| 3 | (-5,-2), (5,-4) | $ \frac{-2}{10} = -\frac{1}{5} $ | $ -\frac{1}{5} $ |
| 4 | (-2,4), (2,-3) | $ \frac{-7}{4} $ | $ -\frac{7}{4} $ |

💡 Summary



Each problem uses the slope formula:
$$
m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
$$
You identify two points from the graph, plug them into the formula, simplify the fraction, and get the slope.

The answer key is correct for all four problems.
