slope worksheet

In the previous post we have discussed about linear equations calculator and In today’s session we are going to discuss about slope worksheet, A slope describes the steepness, inclination of a line. In simple terms slope is defined as the ratio of rise when divided by the run between two points on the line. The slope worksheet help in finding the points of a line which in the plane consisting of the x and y axes which is represented by the letter ‘m’ and is defined as the change in y coordinate by the change in x coordinate between the two distinct point on the line. We can also write it as

Ã¢ÂÂy      rise

m =  —— = ——– .

Ã¢ÂÂx        run

here the symbol Ã¢ÂÂ (pronounced as delta) is used which means the change or the difference.

If the two points are given suppose (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) then the change in x from one to the another will be considered i.e. x2 – x(run) whereas the change in y will be y– y(rise) now the new formula takes place will be

y– y1

m = ———-

x2 – x1

these formula will not work in the case of vertical line.

To understand this in the more precise manner we will take one example:

suppose a line runs through two points : s = (2,1) and t(13,6) now as stated in the above formula we will follow the following steps.

Ã¢ÂÂy        y– y1

m = —— = ———–

Ã¢ÂÂx        x2 – x1

6 – 2

= ——– (substitute the value in the formula)

13 – 1

= 4/12 (calculation takes place)

= 1/3

You can even visit the Indian educational portals to get the information related to the board activities such as Andhra secondary education board.
