Guided Notes- Slope

There are four different types of slope

1) 2) 3) 4) The slope of a line represents the __________________________________________. Draw a graph representing the price per galloon of gas. M=

The simplest way to look at slope is

If we look at the line that passes through the points (-2,-1) and (4,3)

To get from -2!-1) to the point 4!3) ! yo" rise "p ___________ an# r"n ____________. To represent this as a fraction we write it as _________ ! which re#"ces to __________. This slope is circle one) positi$e negati$e

%f we look at the line that passes thro"gh the points -1!4) an# 2!-2)

To get from to the point ! yo" rise "p __________ an# r"n ___________. To represent this as a fraction we write it as __________! which re#"ces to ___________. This slope is circle one) positi$e negati$e
