  2. Info on slope • Slope describes the steepness, incline, and decline of a line. • Slope is normally described by the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line • The slope m of the line through thepoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by M= y2-y1 x2-x1

  3. Objective We found real life examples outside of different types of slope around the school, took pictures of a few, then uploaded the pictures to the computer.

  12. Why understanding slope is important: • Slope is used in your everyday life. You use it to understand measurements for building things, skateboarders use it when they skate on ramps, and to help describe landforms.

  13. Jobs you may use slope in: • Architect • Construction Worker • Economist
