Finding Slope from Graphs, Tables, and Descriptions: Sample FAST Questions

Slope is the rate of change of a linear relationship, and 8th graders find it from every representation: counting rise over run on a graph, applying the slope formula to two points or a table, and pulling the per-unit rate out of a written description.

How the FAST tests this benchmark

The FAST mixes equation editor items for a slope value with multiple choice and graphic response items. The most common error is inverting rise and run, and a descending line catches students who compute the size of the slope but drop the negative.

Skills students need

  • Find slope from a graph using rise over run
  • Find slope from two points with the slope formula
  • Find slope from a table of values
  • Find a rate of change from a written description
