Math: Slope
What do you think slope is?
What is really slope?
 What is slope? If you have ever walked up or down a hill, then you have already experienced a real life
example of slope
As you go up hill, you may feel like you are spending lots of energy to get yourself to move.
The steeper the hill, the harder it is for you to keep yourself moving
Keeping this fact in mind, by definition, the slope is the measure of the steepness of a line.
In real life, we see slope in any direction. However, in math, slope is defined from left to right.
I repeat we always measure slope going from left to right. This is very important!
There are three types of slope you can encounter. A slope can be positive, negative, or equal to zero.
When the slope is equal to zero, we say that there is no slope
Positive Slope
 If you go from left to right and you go up, it is a positive slope
Name some types of positive slopes?
Negative Slope
 If you go from left to right and you go down, it it a
negative slope
Name types of negative slopes?
Zero Slope
 If you go from left to right and you don't go up or
down, it it a zero slope
Name types of zero slopes?
Slope=Rise and Run
 That steepness can be measured with the following
formula:

 -up
DODJDJ-down
How do you know the slope direction?
 The slope going up is positive and the slope going
down is negative
 But the slope going even is zero
 And the slope going vertical is undefined
Summing of slope
