CHAPTE Slop
KEY CONCEPT Definition: Slope is the rate of change between any two points on a line. Formula:
EXAMPLE
DEFINITION
FIND THE SLOPE Count how many units you “rise” (up or down) and how many units you “run” (left or right) 3 2
EXAMPLE 1 seconds (y) 30 25 20 15 10 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 miles (x)
WHAT DOES THE SLOPE REPRESENT? So, for every 5 seconds between a lightning flash and the sound of thunder, there is 1 mile between you and the lightning strike.
YOU TRY Graph the data about plant height for a science fair project. Then find the slope of the line. Explain what the slope represents. Somebody come up and graph the data Slope = 1. 5 Slope represents- The plant grows 1. 5 cm per week.
EXAMPLE 2 Account balance ($) Renaldo opened a savings account. Each week he deposits $300. Draw a graph of the account balance versus time. Find the numerical value of the slope and interpret it in 2400 words. 2100 1800 1500 1200 900 600 300 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Time (weeks)
GOT IT? Jessica has a balance of $35 on her cell phone account. She adds $10 each week for the next four weeks. Graph the account balance versus time. Find the numerical value of the slope and interpret it in words.
