Name two ways that you can find a slope ?
Ans. Using a graph, an equation, a table or two coordinate pairs.
|
Which direction do rise & run go in ?
Ans. Rise goes in a vertical direction and run is horizontal direction.
|
|
What is a slope ?
Ans. Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line.
|
Explain how to find a slope using a graph ?
Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates. Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise). Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run). Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).

|
True or false: Can a slope be expressed on a vertical line ?
Ans. False; A vertical line is undefined meaning the slope would have infinite size.
|
True or False: There are four types of slopes.
True; positive, negative, zero, and undefined
|
|
What is the definition of Rise over Run ?
Ans. A mnemonic for remembering that the slope of a non-vertical line is the ratio of the amount it rises over some interval, over the length of that interval.
