Slope tells us:
For this graph the line has:
For this graph the line has:
This line goes down. It's slope is:
What is the equation for slope?
Slope = Δy/Δx
Δy means what?
Slope = Δy/Δx
If Δy means "change in y", how do you find Δy?
Slope = Δy/Δx
What is the equation for Δx?
To find slope you need how many points on the line?
When calculating slope you need to pick two "good points".
On this graph, which is the "good point"?
Which are two good points you could use to find the slope of the line?
After you find two good points, circle the x and y coordinates of those points.
What is the y coordinate for the circled point?
What is the x coordinate for the circled point?
The only other good point on this graph is:
Slope = Δy/Δx.
What is Δy for this graph?
Slope = Δy/Δx.
Δy = 60 m
What is Δx for this graph?
Slope = Δy/Δx.
Δy = 60 m
Δx = 10 s
Calculate the slope.
