this just means that you decide how steep a line is by the slope as if it were always positive 10/18/2010 - SLOPE UNIT 3 - Textbook 5.1 ·Slope describes how steep the line is. (the greater the absolute value of the slope the steeper the line) ·Slope of a line is determined by any 2 points on the line.
As usual the textbook can help you! This is Section 5.1
Use Rise Run to find the slope. negative positive zero undefined NOTICE: ON (zero over a number) - zero slope NO (a number over zero) - undefined aka No slope
There are 2 formulas to find slope: Rise over Run as reviewed already PLUS... *** write this formula down***

WEDNESDAY LESSON WAS GRAPHING USING ONE POINT AND SLOPE Draw the line that ..... 3) has a slope of -1/3 and passes through (4,-3) 1) has a slope of 3/4 and passes through (2,5) up 3 over 1 up 3 over 4 DOWN 3 over 1 2) has a slope of 3 and passes through (-1,2) 1ST - GRAPH THE POINT GIVEN. 2ND - Using slope, rise then run to the next point. 3RD - connect the points and make a line

**I don't need to finish the bottom since top is zero
last new lesson for Section 5-1 Next we're going through problems from your textbook (pg 258) where SLOPE is defined as the RATE of CHANGE change in dependent variable change in independent variable = 1st - To find slope start with a table... 2nd - To find slope change the table to points and use the slope formula
Find the rate of change for each 2 year period. Use the rate of change to determine at what time Karen grew the most.
if time 1st - To find slope start with a table... 2nd - To find slope change the table to points and use the slope formula
Is it any different when we are given the information in an equation?
Classwork - Odd problems We will work these until the bell!
