Today in class we worked on a booklet called "Slope of an Objects's Motion", it showed us how to figure out the slope of a graph. (Slope= Y2-Y1/X2-X1 or Rise/Run)

For example:
Point A: Rise/Run= 20/4
Slope=5

We also learned that if the line on the graph is slanting upwards it is becoming postive, and if the line is moving downwards in a slanting motion it is becoming a negitive. But if the line is like Point B, it does not have a slope and it's neiter a positive or negitive.
