A. For the data in the data table, graph the data. 
B. Draw a best-fit line for the data points. 
C. Find the slope of the line. Slope Equation = ________ 
 Draw a LARGE triangle on your graph to find the rise & run. 
 From the triangle, show how you find the rise and the run for the line graph.
 SHOW ALL your work on the graph. Write on the graph Slope = rise run then put in your values for rise and run ON YOUR GRAPH. 
 Find the value of the slope (in decimal form)
Analysis Questions:
1. Write two slope equations: Slope = _________ = ___________
2. Write slope value with unit: Slope = __________
3. What does this graph represent? _______________________ [Hint: Look at the unit of
rise (numerator) and run (denominator). Which physical quantity it represents?)
