From what I understand, all you do is plug in the x and y values (whatever’s given) for that particular point, and get a slope value. Then on the graph, draw a little line segment oriented the way a line w/ that particular slope would be oriented. My teacher said they won’t be getting their protractors out to grade these, but they should be able to identify what you think the slope is at that point.
