  1. Hit the Slopes Brett Solberg Sarah Schneider Ralph Davis

  2. Objective Students will be able to derive an accurate formula for finding the slope of a line.

  3. Rating Easy Moderate Steep Vertical

  4. Sort and Categorize • Categorize the 6 hills according to our rating system. • How do you determine which hill goes in which category? • How do you determine steepness?

  5. Steepness • Which of these lines is steepest? • What do they have in common? • What are their differences? • Can you measure the steepness of each line?

  6. Steepness • Which of these lines is steepest? • What do they have in common? • What are their differences? • Can you measure the steepness of each line?

  7. Formula • How did you determine steepness? • What problems did you find?

  8. Test • Test out your formula on these lines.

  9. Formula • Did your formula hold? • What problems did you find?

  10. Slope • The slope is defined as the ratio of the "rise" divided by the "run" between two points on a line, or in other words, the ratio of the altitude change to the horizontal distance between any two points on the line.
