• The x values: Go up by different amounts

About slope from a table

Each table follows a linear rule. Students pick two columns, divide the change in y by the change in x, and write the slope. You can choose tables where x goes up by the same amount each time, tables where it does not, or a mix, and you can ask for the starting value (y when x is 0) as well.

Every slope is a whole number. The solved example shows the change in y and the change in x for two columns, then divides. When the starting value is asked for, the example also shows how to work back to x = 0.
