To find slope, Step 1 is to find 2 good points. How many good points are there on this graph?
1
2
3
4
5
6
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?
2 - 1 = 1 m
2 + 1 = 3 m
7 + 5 = 12 m
7 - 5 = 2 m
Slope = Δy/Δx Δy = 2 m What is Δx?
3 sec
2 sec
4 sec
1 sec
Slope = Δy/Δx Δy = 2 m Δx = 1 sec
What does Δy/Δx mean?
Δy times Δx
Δy divided Δx
Δy plus Δx
Δy minus Δx
Slope = Δy/Δx Δy = 2 m Δx = 1 sec Calculate the slope: (no units, please).
