  1. Algebra I: Slope Finding and Using Slope

  2. Table of Contents • What is Slope? • Types of Slope • How to find Slope • Applications of Slope • Conclusion

  3. What is Slope? • The slope of the line is a number determined by any two points on the line. • The number describes how “steep” the line is. • An example for slope would be the sides of the Great Pyramids of Egypt , skiing down the side of a mountain, the roof of a house, or a race track used in Nascaror Indy car racing. • Table of Contents

  4. Types of Slope • There are four types of slope: • 1. Positive Slope • 2. Negative Slope • 3. Zero Slope • 4. Undefined Slope • Table of Contents

  5. How to find Slope • Slope is denoted by the variable “m” • Slope (m) can be found between two points by finding the “change in the y-coordinate (rise)” divided by the “change in the x-coordinate (run)” • Use the formula: m = = = • Finding Slope (video) • Finding Slope (tutorial) • Finding Slope (tutorial/video) • Table of Contents

  6. Applications of Slope • Slope can be used to describe a rate of change. • Rate of Change (video) • Real Life Applications (tutorial) • Real life Applications (video) • Table Contents

  7. Conclusion • Slope is a number that describes how steep a line is. • There are four types of slope. • Slope can be found using the formula • m = • Slope is used in everyday real-world situations.
