Well, how do you find a slope?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you use to find a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would think C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont remember thats why I dont get it haha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rate of change does describe a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in fact it is the tangent to a curve at a particular point, so it is the slope at that point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean noo B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the rise over the run is also a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a line regardless of whether it is flat, negative or positive will also describe a slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a proportional relationship is normally to do with the similarity of two geometric shapes and not the slope e.g y = kx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THANKS GUYS!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

admittedly it looks like the equation of a slope..e.g y = mx + c
