Using a graph, an equation, a table or two coordinate pairs.

Rise goes in a vertical direction and run is horizontal direction.

You decide to sell all of your old things you don't use anymore. You started with 258 things, you sell 4 things each week. What is the Y-intercept ?

If an Olympic skiier is going down a hill at 22 mph. what type of slope are they on ?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood in lbs.?

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line.

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).

Use inverse operations to solve for y so that it is written as y=mx+b. Then you can easily see the slope since it is the coefficient of the x variable, or the number in front of x.

A skateboarder is riding a half pipe ( U shaped ramp). What type of slope is that called ?

Ms. Kwelty or Mrs. Bissic

What does the D in D-Day stand for ?

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.

John grows at a rate of two inches per year. He started the year at 47 inches tall.

Identify the change in each consecutive pair of y-values and x-values on the table. Write ratios for each change, then simplify.

A bobsledder is going down a negative incline at 112 mph. They gain 2 more mph. every five seconds.
They started at 15 mph. What is the equation (y=mx+b) ?

Choose two coordinates to be (x1, y1), and (x2, y2). Use the rise/run solution, then simplify.

Consider a line crosses the y axis at 10 and upon which point (6"4) lies. What is the slope of this line ?

a symmetrical open plane curve formed by the intersection of a cone with a plane parallel to its side. The path of a projectile under the influence of gravity ideally follows a curve of this shape.
