Slope and linear equations worksheet
Two skills that go together: find the slope, then use a point to pin the line down. Easy slopes come out whole; medium and hard bring in fractions.
Not quite the one you need? Same words, different skill:
- Finding Slope (Algebra 1). From two points, an equation, or a table.
- Slope From Two Points (Algebra 1). Rise over run from a pair of points.
- Slope From a Graph (Algebra 1). Count the rise and the run.
- Slope From an Equation (Algebra 1). Rearrange, then read it off.
- Point-Slope Form (Algebra 1). A point and a slope, copied into their places.

How to do these
Find the slope through and
- Slope is the change in y over the change in x.
- 9 - 3 = 6 and 5 - 2 = 3.
- 6 over 3.
The answer is .
Where students go wrong
Subtracting in a different order top and bottom. As long as both start from the same point it works; mixing them flips the sign, which is the single most common slip on this topic.
Also called slope-intercept form.
