SLOPE

TYPES OF SLOPES.

• When increasing the slope is positive
• When decreasing the slope is negattive
• When the slope is horizontal its 0 slope
• When the slope is vertical its an unidentified slope
• The meanings of the slopes is so you can know what the number is gonna end up.

HOW TO GET STARTED!

• You find the rise over run
• So you put the y-axis on the top
• And the x-axis on the bottom

ALMOST THERE!!

• You plug in the numbers, the y-axis # goes on top
• The x-axis # goes on the bottom
• You subtract y1 minus y2, and x1 minus x2
• And you find your answer!
• YOUR ANSWER WILL ALWAYS BE IN A FRACTION FORM!!! AND LABEL THE AXIS!!!

EXAMPLE

• Find the slope of line segment points, (1, -4), and (-4' 2)
• Line the numbers up
• Subtract and you will get
• 2
