During this week we learned about the different types of slopes and how to identify the value of them and meaning.

The different slopes consist of, negative slope, positive slope, undefined, and zero here are the examples.

 

 

We were taught how to find the slope using coordinates and a formula. Where you take the coordinates and insert them into the formula and solve for the slope also known as m.

 

Although there is an alternative way Mrs. Burton taught us using the T-chart.

Which is what many chose to use because it is simpler and more clear.

Using these numbers to insert into the T-chart (because it is simpler) we can easily find our slope.

You will then find the change in the x and y-axis’s, meaning how much it goes up or down by.

Now with our changes we can insert those numbers into another fraction using rise over run.

Including the Greek symbol Delta (a triangle put in front of each axis) known as the change of each input and output. Looks like this:

By inserting the numbers some will give you a clean easy answer although some will give you a fraction.

In this case we get a fraction.

Using the formula is not something i like or feel comfortable with only because the amount of negative signs get me confused. I find this way easier and simpler to solve with.
