# Slope of a Line

The slope, or gradient, of a line can tell quite a mathematical story.  At its simplest, the slope tells you how fast a line is rising or falling on a coordinate graph.  This tiny tidbit of information will help you understand the data behind the line, specifically, how the variables are related.

If the slope is positive, that means the line will rise as it moves from left to right, indicating that the variables increase together.  For instance, a line that compares the amount of time you study versus your grade point average will have a positive slope, or rising line.  Obviously, the more you study, the higher your G.P.A. will be!

If the slope of a line is negative, that means that the line will fall as it moves from left to right, showing that the variables have an inverse relationship.  For example, a line that compares the temperature outside with the amount of time you spend outside will probably have a negative slope.  The colder it gets, the less time you want to spend outside.

These free slope worksheets will help you become an expert at calculating the slope of a line in a variety of different ways.  All worksheets are printable and answers are provided for each of the worksheets.  Good luck!

Jaden, a horizontal line will have a slope of zero. The reason for this is that a horizontal line will never “rise”, so it’s rise will be zero. I hope this helps. Thanks for checking in.
