Question 306984: Hi, I really need to see a slope that is already graphed and it shows the problem and the answer. I am having troubles with finding an example online of a graphed slope. If you can please send me an email back showing different websites that I can go to find the examples that i need no later than today that would be excellent.

sincerly, me thank you :)

You can't graph a slope.
You can graph a line.
Slope is change in y divided by change in x.
Easiest examples are those that go through (0,0).
Here's a line with a slope of 1.


As you look at any point on the line and it's relationship to (0,0), you see
that the slope, m,

.
.
.
Next we can graph where now for every step in x, you take two steps in the y direction. This makes a steeper curve.

So when you look at points on the green line, say (2,4), then,

Lines that are less steep than have a coefficient in front of x that's less than 1.
Let's graph
So now for every 4 steps in x, you'll take one step in y.

Lastly, negative slopes move downward as you go from right to left.
Here's plotted with the rest.
