slopes

Hi,
today we are going to talk about slopes.To find slope you must know how to graph points.Slope is the measure of steepness of aa line.The ratio of the vertical over horasontal.A line with a positive slpoe goes upwards and a slope with a negitive slope is going downward.

The formula is always y=mx+b.M stands for the slope and b stands for the y-intercept.If it is a horisantle line it is a no slope or 0 slope.If it is vertical it is undifined.Once you have the slope and one point you can find the other points and find the line.We will continue this next post.
