This document defines and provides examples of different types of slopes, including: - Zero (horizontal) slope: examples are a sunset horizon, bridge, and books aligned horizontally. - Undefined (vertical) slope: examples are vertical structures like the Twin Towers, lamp posts, grass, rockets during launch, and french fries. - Positive slope: examples include mountains, roller coasters going up, pyramids, and stairs. - Negative slope: examples are structures like an X shape, rainbow, and glacial mountain going down. - Steeper slope: examples include the Eiffel Tower, Christmas tree, knife blades, and bamboo. - Flatter slope: examples are

1. Slopes in Real Life

2. Zero (Horizontal) Slope
The sunset on the horizon is an example of a
zero slope because it goes horizontally.
This picture represents a zero slope
because it’s a bridge going
horizontally.

3. Zero (Horizontally) Slope
These books represents a zero slope
because these books are aligned horizontally
so they have a zero slope.
This tree branch has a zero
slope because it’s growing
horizontally.

4. Zero (Horizontal) Slope
The picture of the wire is the last
example of zero slopes because
the wire runs side to side or
horizontally.

5. Undefined (vertical) Slope
The Twin Towers went vertically. An
undefined slope goes up and down
and that’s how these buildings are
built.
Most lamp posts go vertically and
that’s how undefined slopes are.
This is an example because lamp
post stand straight.

6. Undefined (vertical) Slope
This picture represents an
undefined slope because grass
goes straight up vertically, just like
an undefined slope.
A rocket goes straight up
during launch. An
undefined slope goes
vertical also.

7. Undefined (vertical) Slope
This french fry is going up and
down. This is an example of an
undefined slope because they
both go vertically.

8. Positive Slope
The mountain is a representation
of a positive slope because the left
side is going up or increasing.
In this picture, the roller
coaster is increasing and
going upwards just like a
positive slope.

9. Positive Slope
The Great Pyramids of Egypt is a
good example because since it’s
a triangle, on one side it’s a
positive slope.
This picture of a flight of
stairs is a good
representation because the
stairs are going upwards
and increasing.

10. Positive Slope
The picture of the circus tent is a
good example because the slope of
the circus tent matches a positive
slope.

11. Negative Slope
This picture represents a
negative slope because the left
side is going towards the
negative quardinant.
The X is an example of a
negative slope because on one
side, the line is going
downwards.

12. Negative Slope
This picture represents a negative slope because
these people are aligned to where when looking
at them left to right, they’re going downwards.
This rainbow is an example of negatives
slopes because the rainbow can be seen
going down when looked at left to right.

13. Negative Slope
This picture of the glacier mountain represents a
negative slope because this mountain is going
down.

14. Steeper Slope
The Eiffel Tower has a long steep drop on it.
Although it’s not straight so this falls under a
steep slope.
The christmas tree shows a deep drop
making it a steeper slope.

15. Steeper Slope
This heel has a slope. Its very high but at the
same time still tilted.
These knifes have curves on the blades.
They are so steep that they look
straight, but aren’t. This makes them
steeper slopes.

16. Steeper Slope
This stick of bamboo is a steeper
slope because its barely tilted but
not straight.

17. Flatter Slope
This picture of a jet’s path represents a flatter
slope because its going horizontally except
with a tilt.
This human see-saw is a representation
of a flat slope because the giant board is
straight but with a tilt.

18. Flatter Slope
This saw has a flat slope that’s not quite flat but
with a tilt.
This picture of a fork shows a flatter slope
because at the handle a fork is
straight, then starts to lift.

19. Flatter Slope
This carrot has a slant at its edge. Since
it’s not straight, this carrot has a flatter
slope or is an example of one.

20. Definition of Slope
• to have or take an inclined or oblique
direction or angle considered with reference
to a vertical or horizontal plane; slant
