To find slope, Step 1 is to find 2 good points. How many good points are there on this graph?
1
2
3
4
We are going to use the first two good points (A and B). Step 2: circle the x and y coordinates for the points. What two numbers would you circle on the y-axis? ("11/11" means you are correct)
What two numbers would you circle on the x-axis? (11/11 means you are correct)
What is the equation for slope?
slope = Δy/Δx
slope = Δx/Δy
slope = mx+ b
slope = D/T
Slope = Δy/Δx So you need to find Δy and Δx. What is Δy?
10 - 0 = 10 m
10 + 4 = 14 m
4 - 0 = 4 m
10 - 4 = 6 m
Slope = Δy/Δx Δy = 6 m What is Δx?
3 sec
2 sec
4 sec
1 sec
Slope = Δy/Δx Δy = 6 m Δx = 2 sec
What does Δy/Δx mean?
Δy times Δx
Δy divided Δx
Δy plus Δx
Δy minus Δx
Slope = Δy/Δx Δy = 6 m Δx = 2 sec Calculate the slope: (no units, please).
