Answer 1

rise over run

Answer 2

find dy/dx

Answer 3

I have a great way, The steeper the hill, the harder it is for you to keep yourself moving
Keeping this fact in mind, by definition, the slope is the measure of the steepness of a line.

In real life, we see slope in any direction. However, in math, slope is defined from left to right.

I repeat we always measure slope going from left to right. This is very important!

There are three types of slope you can encounter. A slope can be positive, negative, or equal to zero. When the slope is equal to zero, we say that there is no slope

A positive slope:

If you go from left to right and you go up, it it a positive slope

Answer 4

A negative slope:

If you go from left to right and you go down, it it a negative slope

Answer 5

A zero slope:

If you go from left to right and you don't go up or down, it it a zero slope

Answer 6

How is that?

Answer 7

if u know any point of grafic, you may use:

(y-y0)= m(x - x0)

where y0 and x0 are the coordinates of the known point and m is the slope.

Answer 8

y-y0
so slope= ------
x - x0

Answer 9

Thanks!

Answer 10

welcome

Answer 11

you could think about what speed equals
speed=distance over time
s=d/t
and easy way to remember this ratio is recalling the units in which you drive
well us americans say miles per hour
miles is talking about the distance
and per is division
hours is talking about time

you can think of if like this y is the change in distance
and x is the change in time

s=d/t=change of distance/change of time=change of y/change of x

Answer 12

we do say speed is positive
and we are looking for the rate of change (aka slope) so don't do the absolute value of

Answer 13

well positive or neutral*
