From what you think or know, what is a slope?

Type response here

3

Slope can be expressed in different ways:

$m=\frac{\left(y_2-y_1\right)}{\left(x_2-x_1\right)}\ =\ \frac{Rise}{Run\ }\ =\ \frac{Vertical\ change}{Horizontal\ change}$

4

Positive slope

- A line has a positive slope if it is going uphill from left to right

5

Negative slope

- A line has a negative slope if it is going downhill from left to right

7

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

A line with a horizontal line does not rise!

$m$ = $\frac{0}{number}$ = $0$

All Horizontal lines have a slope of

0

What do you think is the slope of a Vertical Line?

0

Undefined

What is the slope of a vertical line?

A slope with a vertical line does not run!
$m=\frac{number}{0}=Undefined$

All vertical lines have an undefined slope

What is the slope of a line between (-4,14) and (-16,8)?
Reminder!

Formula:

$m=\frac{\left(y_2-y_1\right)}{\left(x_2-x_1\right)}$

Type answer...

11

What is the slope of a line between (-4,14) and (-16,8)?

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{\left(8-\left(14\right)\right)}{-16-\left(-4\right)}=\frac{\left(-6\right)}{\left(-12\right)}$

Simplify this and we get $\frac{1}{2}$
