Slope

The slope, represented by 𝒎, is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points to the horizontal change between the same two points. The vertical change is referred to as the rise and the horizontal change as the run. In symbol,

Multiple Choice

The slope, represented by X.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Multiple Choice

The slope, represented by 𝒎, is defined as the ratio of the vertical change between two points to the horizontal change between the same two points.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Multiple Choice

The vertical change is referred to as the RUN and the horizontal change as the RISE.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Situation 1

The previous activity, Teacher Carlo is driving up the hilly roads, hence the slope is positive. Take note that the steeper the hilly road that Teacher Carlo drives, the larger is the slope

Multiple Choice

The hilly roads has a slope of positive.

• TRUE

• FALSE

 Situation 2

Teacher Carlo is driving down the hilly roads. The steeper the road, the more the car builds up speed, and the more the slope becomes negative. 

Multiple Choice

The road has a slope of negative.

• TRUE

• FALSE

 Situation 4

Teacher Carlo is driving on a flat ground. As you can see there is no vertical change. This means that the slope is zero.

Multiple Choice

The road has a slope of 1.

• TRUE

• FALSE

Situation 5

Driving like in Situation 4 is a BIG NO. It is not possible. What do you think is the slope in this situation? 

Multiple Choice

The figure has a slope of zero.

• True

• False
