Christin Mitchell Lauren Dotson

Slope is a surface where one end or side is higher than the other.

There are three kinds of slope:**Positive slope** Negative slope** Zero slope

Positive Slope

Negative Slope

Zero Slope

To find the slope of a line divide the change in height by the change in horizontal distance

Rise and RunThe horizontal change in a line is the run.The vertical change is the rise.

Undefined slope

A vertical line has undefined slope because all points on the line have the same x-coordinate.

Slope Formula Solved

Three steps to finding the slope.**identify two points on a line ** Pick one to be (x1,y1) and one to be (x2,y2).**Use the slope equation to calculate.
