I. LEARNING SKILLS
A. Most Essential Learning Competency
Illustrates and find the slope of a line given two points, equation, and graph.
III. ACTIVITIES
Shown at the right is the picture of Mount Mayon, It is one of the fascinating volcanoes
in the Philippines because of its almost symmetrical conical shape. The approximate
steepness of the volcano is labelled by the line.
The slope of the line can be used to describe how steep Mount
Mayon is.
A line can be described by its steepness or slope. The slope m
of a line can be computed by finding the quotient of the rise and run.

The rise refers to the vertical change in y-coordinate while the run is the
Let rest house 1 be P₁ and rest house 2 be P₂. If P₁(x₁, y₁) and P₂(x₂, y₂) and x₁ ≠ x₂.
Then the slopem can be computed by the formula
y ₂− y ₁ 5−1 4
m= = =2
x ₂−x ₁ 4−2 2

What kind of integer is the slope?
What can you say about the behaviour of the graph?
Where does it rise from?
Your answer will be confirmed if it is correct by reading
and understanding the next some things to ponder.
Don’t Forget…..
To find the slope of a line given any two points (𝒙₁ , 𝒚₁) and (𝒙₂ , 𝒚₂)
• Assign values for (𝑥₁ , 𝑦₁) and (𝑥₂ , 𝑦₂) from the given
points.

Take note…….
The equation of a line through the point (0, 𝑏) with slope m is
given by :
𝒚 = 𝒎𝒙 + 𝒃 This is called the slope – intercept form.

Example 2.
Given the graph below, what is the slope of the line?
Solution A: •
Determine the two points on the graph
( - 1, 3)
. (−1,3) and (3, −1)
Solution B:
RO_Mathematics 8_Q1_LP5
• Identify the two given points.
q
• Get the ratio of the rise and run. ( - 1, 3)
• Count the number of units for rise and run respectively
• Solve for 𝑚 rise

Don’t forget…..
Note:
rise (+) = going upward
(-) = going downward
run (+) = moving to the right
(-) = moving to the left
