Slopes

Types of slopes

• The main four slopes consist of ; 
• Positive Slope (When lines go up-left to right)
• Negative Slope ( When lines go down-left to right)
• Zero Slope (When the lines are horizontal)
• Undefined Slope (When the lines are vertical) 

Slope Information

• Slope is a number that describes both the direction and steepness of a line
• Slope is often denoted by the letter M.
• The line is either increasing, decreasing, horizontal or vertical
• The equation of any straight line is called a linear equation.

Some Slope Formulas

• Slopes usually have a formula, or equation to solve it with.
• The linear equation can be written as y=mx+b
• Two point formulas = m=y2-y1/x2-x1
• The basic formula for slope is rise/run

Things to remember .

• Some slopes can be placed on grids. 
• DO NOT FORGET CHANGE IN X/Y
• Fractions can be used to solve some slope equations.
• Slopes can be negative and positive. 
• When given two points, use a grid.
