Slope Project

Introduction
Slope is the angle of a line that faces away from the horizontal. Slope can be recognized in three formats: Undefined, Positive, Negative, and Zero. And is a valuable step taught by Mrs. Sparks in Algebra 1.
Undefined Slope Def.
Undefined Slope- slope that cannot be determined because it favors neither posotive nor negative.
Undefined Slope ex.
A flag pole is a good example.
So is the trunk of
of this tree.
Positive Slope Def.
Positive Slope- positive slope favors towards the right side and goes in an upward posture.
Positive Slope ex.
So are stairs… and
mountains.
Negative Slope def.
Negative Slope- Negative slope favors downward and shows how something is decreasing.
Negative Slope ex.
Kinda like rolling down a
hill, or the angle on a
roof, or the way rain
falls on a
roof.
Zero Slope Def.
Zero slope- is when the angle sequentially “flatlines” and shows no movement.
Zero Slope ex.
For example this bridge, heart monitor, and the bottom of this slide. :)
