How Do You Find the Slope of a Ramp If You Know the Rise and Run?

The slope of the land is an important feature when considering the erosion that will occur. In this resource, which is part of a rain garden unit, learners calculate the slope of the proposed garden site. Even if you are not planning a...

What does a slope of 2/3 mean? Develop an understanding of the key features of a linear function. Pupils graph the linear functions and explain the meaning of the slope and intercepts of the graphs. 

Keep your mathematicians engaged using this group linear functions activity. Each of ten groups receives two graphs with both an image and equation, as well as a "who has" phrase to call out the next graph. Scholars stay on their toes as...

This detailed presentation starts with a review of using key components to graph a line. It then quickly moves into new territory of taking these important parts and teasing them out of a word problem. Special care is...

Here is an introductory lesson to help you understand the slope of a line, whether positive or negative and the y-intercept's meaning. Several examples of changes in slope are shown on a graph, and the instructor relates them to how the...

If your class struggles with graphing inequalities, or if your lecture could use some help from Sal, this video would be a great help. Sal's instruction is measured and patient, and viewers will walk away feeling more confident and...

This lecture continues reviewing linear equations and slope problems with several example problems. Those who didn't grasp the concepts during class might find this lesson helpful.

Given a line, do you know how to find the slope? Yes, rise over run. Then all you have to do is plug in the given values and solve for the slope of the ramp.

Investigate the different types of slope using graphs and ordered pairs. Scholars use the slope formula to determine the slope of a line between two points. Includes examples with a slope of zero and with no slope. The instructional...

This tutorial shows you how to solve a word problem involving rise and run by using the slope formula. [2:34]
