Video Tutorial on Finding Slope from The Graph
Example 1
Find the slope of the line in the graph below
![Practice problem - A1 - question](images/slope_given_2points/practice-problem-set-A__1_question.png)
Plot and label 2 points on the line, anywhere on the line. Remember that the slope of a line never changes, so you can choose whatever 2 points you want and you will always get the same slope.

Calculate the rise and run (You can draw it on the graph if it helps).
![Practice problem - A1 - step2](images/slope_given_2points/practice-problem-set-A__1_step-2.png)
Use the slope formula.
The slope is 2/4, which , of course, you can simplify to ½.
