This worksheet guides students through calculating slope by counting grid units to find the rise and run between points on a coordinate plane.

- For the first graph (positive slope):
- To get from B to C, you move up 3 units and to the right 4 units.
- Slope = 3/4
- To get from A to B, you move up 3 units and to the right 4 units.
- Slope = 3/4
- The slopes are equal; the line is straight.

- For the second graph (steeper positive slope):
- To get from B to C, you move up 4 units and to the right 1 unit.
- Slope = 4/1 = 4
- To get from A to B, you move up 4 units and to the right 1 unit.
- Slope = 4/1 = 4
- The slopes are equal; the line is straight.

- For the third graph (negative slope):
- To get from B to C, you move down 3 units and to the right 2 units.
- Slope = -3/2
- To get from A to B, you move down 3 units and to the right 2 units.
- Slope = -3/2
- The slopes are equal; the line is straight.
