MA.8.A.1.2 Interpret the slope and the x- and y-intercepts when graphing a linear equation for a real-world problem.
ACCESS RAMPS The access ramp from the sidewalk to the door of a hotel rises 8 inches for every horizontal change of 96 inches. What is the slope of the access ramp?
Definition of slope
rise = 8 in., run = 96 in.
Simplify.
Answer: The slope of the ramp is .

Definition of slope
HUMMINGBIRDS The table shows the number of hummingbird feeders and the amount of nectar used to fill the feeders. Find the slope of the line. Then graph it.
A. C.
B. D.
Find the slope of the line that passes through A(3, 3) and B(2, 0).
Find Slope Using Coordinates
Slope formula
(x1, y1) = (3, 3)
(x2, y2) = (2, 0)
Simplify.or 3
Check When going from left to right, the graph of the line slants upward. This is correct for positive slope.
Find Slope Using Coordinates
Answer: The slope is 3.

B. –1
C.
D.
Find Slope Using Coordinates
Find the slope of the line that passes through X(−2, 3) and Y(3, 0).
Slope formula
(x1, y1) = (–2, 3)
(x2, y2) = (3, 0)
Simplify.
Check When going from left to right, the graph of the line slants downward. This is correct for negative slope.
