Finding slope worksheet for Pre-Algebra

In Pre-Algebra slope is the steepness of a line: rise over run, found from two points or a table, or read as m in y = mx + b. A positive slope goes up to the right, a negative one goes down, a flat line has slope 0, and a vertical line has an undefined slope.

Also taught in Algebra 1, at its own level and with its own examples.

How to do these

A table: x=0,2,4 and y=1,7,13

  1. y goes up by 6 each time x goes up by 2.
  2. 6 over 2.

The answer is 3.

Where students go wrong

Putting the change in x on top. Slope is rise over run: the change in y goes in the numerator.

Also called rise over run.

What you can put on this worksheet

The slope from an equation
Find the slope of y=5x−8. → 5
The slope through two points
Find the slope of the line through (6,8) and (1,−7). → 3
Mix in some zero and undefined slopes
Find the slope of the line through (1,1) and (−8,1). → 0
The slope from a table
Find the slope. x−1135y−9−339 → 3

Questions about these worksheets

Yes. Every finding slope sheet is free to print and free to download as a PDF. There is no account to make, no email to hand over and no limit on how many you take.

Yes. The answer key prints on a second page, and you can choose whether it shows each question beside its answer or just the answers in a list.

Yes. Print straight from the page, or download the PDF and print that. The sheet is laid out for paper rather than squeezed off a screen, so there is room to work under each question, and the answer key comes out on its own page.

Pre-Algebra is usually taken around 7th or 8th grade, though schools vary and plenty of students meet it earlier or later. Pick the difficulty rather than the grade: the easy level suits a first lesson on it, the hard level suits review before a test.

Yes, as many as you like. The questions are built fresh each time rather than picked from a fixed set of files, so pressing Generate gives a new sheet. That is what you want for a second class, a retake, or two students sitting next to each other.

That is the closest comparison, and Kuta Software is good software. It is also paid software you install on a computer. These worksheets run in a browser tab for free, with no account and nothing to install. Like Kuta, the finding slope questions are generated when you ask for them rather than pulled from a fixed set of files, so two classes never get the same sheet, and the answer key comes with it.

Yes. There are three levels, and you can tick more than one for a sheet that mixes them, in which case the questions come out easiest first. The harder levels are not just larger numbers: they ask for something the easy ones do not.

You pick from 4: the slope from an equation, the slope through two points, mix in some zero and undefined slopes and the slope from a table. Tick as many as you want and set how many of each, or let it spread them evenly.

Subtracting in a different order on the top and the bottom. As long as both start from the same point it works; mixing them flips the sign.
