Week 13 – Math 10 – Determining steepness

This week I learned how to determine steepness of a line, Ex…

before we calculate for the slope, we need to know what the different slopes mean. First we got a positive slope which is on the very right, then we got a negative slope beside it, we then have a normal horizontal line which has a slope of zero always, lastly, we have a normal vertical line which is has an undefined slope.

then we have to know the formula to calculate slope. On this formula, “m” represents slope, and the y numbers as the numerator are the output numbers and the x numbers as the denominator are the input number, and example is…

in this example, we got our 2 coordinates to find the slope of and we first plug the x and y values into our formula, as you can see the yellow underlined numbers are our y values and the green underlined numbers are our x values. Then, we do the subtraction we end up with the slope (m) 1/2 or 2.
