Anything that isn’t com

pletely vertical

has a slope. This is a value used to

describe its incline or decline.

Rate of Change

Slope can be used to represent an average rate of change.

A rate of change is how much one quantity changes (on average) relative to another.

For slope, we measure how changes relative to .

Exercise 1

Describe some real-world rates of change.

Practical Slope

The slope or pitch of a roof is quite a useful measurement. How do you think a contractor would measure the slope or pitch of a roof?

Pitch of a Roof

The slope or pitch of a roof is defined as the number of vertical inches of rise for every 12 inches of horizontal run.

Slope Definition

The slope m of a nonvertical line is the ratio of vertical change (the ryse) to the horizontal change (the run).

Exercise 2

Regulations state that a handicap ramp must not exceed one inch of rise for every linear foot of run. If the maximum rise of a handicap ramp is 2.5 feet, what is the longest horizontal length of any handicap ramp?

Exercise 3

Find the slope of the line passing through the points (−4, −5) and (6, −2).

Exercise 4

Find the value of k such that the line passing through the points (−4, 2k) and (k, −5) has slope −1.

Objective 2You will be able use slope to be

able to tell what kind of

line you have

The Slope Game

The slope of a line indicates whether it rises or falls (L to R) or is horizontal or vertical.

As the absolute value of the slope of a line increases, --?--.the line gets steeper.

Exercise 5

Without graphing, tell whether the line through the given points rises, falls, is horizontal, or is vertical.

1. (1, 6); (8, −1)

2. (−4, −3); (7, 1)

3. (−5, 3); (−5, 1)

4. (9, 2); (−9, 2)

Objective 3

You will be able to find the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines

Parallel and Perpendicular

Two lines are parallel lines iff they are

coplanar and never intersect.

Two lines are perpendicular lines iff they intersect to form a right angle.

𝑚∥𝑛

Parallel and Perpendicular

Two lines are parallel lines iff they have the

same slope.

Two lines are perpendicular lines

iff their slopes are negative reciprocals.

Exercise 6

Tell whether the pair of lines are parallel, perpendicular, or neither

1. Line 1: through (-2, 1) and (0, -5)

Line 2: through (0, 1) and (-3, 10)

2. Line 1: through (-2, 2) and (0, -1)

Line 2: through (-4, -1) and (2, 3)

Exercise 7

1. If two distinct lines are parallel, what do you know about their y-intercepts?

2. If one of two perpendicular lines has a slope of 1/a and a < 0, is the slope of the other line positive or negative?
