                   Slope
Definitions of Slope
• The tilt, inclination or steepness of a line

• The ratio of vertical change (rise) to
  horizontal change (run).

• The change in y (rise) over the change in x
  (run)
Tilt or Inclination
Vertical Change
   Horizontal Change

This ratio is also known as
            Rise
            Run
How many points do you need to
        draw a line?
• One

• Two

• Three
Graph (3,2) and (-1,-1)
Draw a line through the points.
Now that we have our line lets
         find its slope.



Remember we are finding the following ratio:
    Vertical    or        Rise
   Horizontal             Run
Vertical Change
 or the Rise



  3
Horizontal Change
   or the Run

Slope Intercept
          Real Life Example 1
• Oranges from Florida cost $2 per pound.
  Let y represent the total cost and x represent
  the number of pounds of oranges. Create a
  table, then write a linear equation to find the
  total cost.
• Total cost = $2 times the number of pounds
• y = 2x
Florida Oranges

• y = 2x
• What is the
  cost for 2
  pounds?
• 10 pounds?
Slope Intercept
          Real Life Example 2
• Eileen’s limousine service charges a flat fee
  of $5 plus $10 per hour. Let y represent the
  total cost and x represent the number of
  hours. Write a linear equation to find the
  total cost.
• Total cost = $10 times the number of hours
  + flat fee
• y = 10x + 5
Eileen’s Limousine Service

• y = 10x + 5
• What is the
  cost for 1
  hour?
• 4 hours?
Intercepts
                               x-intercept is the
y-intercept is                 point the line
the point the                  meets the x-axis
line meets the
y-axis                         x-intercept = 7

y-intercept = 5
Slope-Intercept Form
• Slope-intercept form of an equation assigns
  meaning to each variable.
• y = mx +b
• In which m represents slope and b
  represents your y-intercept.
Slope-intercept
   y = mx + b

Slope-Intercept Form
• To graph this equation first find and plot
  your y-intercept.
• Use your slope to locate a second point.
• Lastly draw a line through your two points.
