Introduction
- Review Cartesian Plane and Linear Equations:
Procedure - Briefly review key terms (like coordinate points, x-axis, y-axis, etc.) to ensure students are ready to discuss
lines and slopes.
- Introduce the concept of slope to describe the "steepness" or "tilt" of a line, showing its direction and rate
of change.
-Review simplifying fractions
Example Question:
"Think of slope as a measure of a hill’s steepness—if you're biking, would you prefer a steep hill or a flat
path?"
Motivation
- Real-World Connection:
- Show an image of a steep road and a flat road. Explain how slopes are found in everyday situations.
- Ask students to think of other places they encounter slopes (ramps, roads, stairs).
Discussion:
- Why is the steepness of a ramp important for accessibility?
- How does a steeper hill affect the difficulty of climbing it?
y 2− y 1
m=
x 2−x 1
where ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 )are two points on a line, and ( m)represents the slope.
2. Interpreting Slope:
- Positive Slope: Line rises from left to right.
- Negative Slope: Line falls from left to right.
- Zero Slope: The line is horizontal.
- Undefined Slope: The line is vertical.
Guided Example:
- Calculate the slope between two points, e.g., (2, 3) and (5, 7)
- Substitute into the formula:
7−3 4
¿ =
5−2 3
4. Guided Practice
Example Points:
1. (4, 2) and (6, 6) → Positive slope
2. (-3, -5) and (2, -5) → Zero slope (horizontal line)
3. (1, 1) and (1, 4) → Undefined slope (vertical line)
5. Independent Practice
- Provide a worksheet with several pairs of points and have students calculate the slopes independently.
- Example:
- (0, 0) and (3, 6)
- (2, -1) and (-3, 4)
