Question

Ok, I am have a test on slopes tomorrow and I don’t understand them at all can you give me help on it

Answer 1

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run" (change in y divided by change in x).

Explanation:

alright Using two of the points on the line, you can find the slope of the line by finding the rise and the run. The vertical change between two points is called the rise, and the horizontal change is called the run. The slope equals the rise divided by the run: Slope =rise run Slope = rise run .

You have discovered that there are four types of slope.

-positive slope (when lines go uphill from left to right)

-negative slope (when lines go downhill from left to right)

-zero slope (when lines are horizontal)

-undefined slope (when lines are vertical)

The steepness of a hill is called a slope. The same goes for the steepness of a line. The slope is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points, the rise, to the horizontal change between the same two points, the run.

Answer 2

slope is rise (the amount of points/spaces it goes up) over run (the amount across) so say you have one point on a graph, and another point above it 5 spaces and over 2 spaces, the slope would be 5/2.
