what type of math would a slope be under?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Algebra, usually.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Unless it is dealing with complex shapes like |dw:1384609859599:dw|, then it would be Calculus.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Anytime, @Kyria!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now i get it thanks @SolomanZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Did work, I spelled my name with o, that's how it is in my passport.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@SolomonZelman, like this.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Whatever....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

that's tonally fine, no problem.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

totally...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@SolomonZelman its alway calcules no matter wat thae shape is ,cuz to find slupe u need to check limit or differentiate the function its pure math .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@ikram002p, is this from calculus, \[\frac{y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first derivative of a point on a curve gives its slope. That is about differential calculus

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

IT is both, Calculus and Algebra 1. Algebra 1, is on a lower level of math, that's all.

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

@SolomonZelman yes its calculus , coz the difinition of difrentiate is the slope of a point on some point lie on the curve , if u took a linear curve as a spicial case u would note that all point have the same slope.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

@ikram002p, I am not saying it is not calculus, it is not only in calculus, it is in both Alg 1, and Calculus. In calculus, you can get a better understanding of a slope, but it is also part of algebra topics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ kia u r still confuse??

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ok... then u need to know that u can apply slope in Alg 1 that does not mean its belong to Alg.. otherwise u can apply slope in phisics or fin but it doesnt belong to any of them .. any way the study of the slope as i said to u is pure math science (calculus).

fantastic @SolomonZelman
