What Does Negative Slope Mean?

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...

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...

Examine the features of linear slope with a video tutorial that explains the origin of the slope formula using a graph. Pupils then see several examples including positive, negative, and slopes of varying steepness.

One of the beauties of mathematics is the ability to take words and turn them into symbols. The lesson uses a graph to tell a story, and translates a description of water changing temperatures into a graph. The instructor then reviews...

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...

The instructor uses a computer graphing program to illustrate how a line changes slope by manipulating the slope values in the equation. He also manipulates the y-intercept value to see where the line crosses the y-axis.

Introduce slope, slope, and more slope, with this comprehensive video about....slope! Start with the slope formula and transition to counting the slope from a line on a coordinate plane. Your mathematicians will be able to see the...

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 lesson follows a...

Do you know the formula for 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.

Parallel lines must always have the same slope. Learners use this bit of information to extend their equation writing skills. A video lesson explains how to write the equation of a line parallel to a given line and through a given point....
