What does slope describe?
the change of rise over run. a positive slope goes up and a negative slope goes down
Another name for slope?
Gradient is another term used to describe the slope of a line or surface. It represents the rate of change or steepness of a line or surface.
What is slope in physics?
Slope is a mathematical term in physics that is used to describe the steepness of a line, or other physical object. Mathematically, slope is known as "m". The basic equation is: M = Rise/Run or M = Δy/Δx. This is best explained by a drawing: / / | / | / | / | <--- The Rise / | / | /___| ^ The run So if you know the length of the rise, and the length of the run, you can calculate the slope by dividing the rise by the run. Hope this helps.
What does it mean to the rise over run when the slope is an integer?
The slope can be remembered as "rise over run". When the slope is an integer, it means that the rise over run is positive.
For a negative slope the rise is and the run is positive?
For a negative slope, the rise is negative and the run is positive.
What is the slope of 3 and a run 12 a line a rise?
The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the rise (change in vertical position) by the run (change in horizontal position). If the rise is 3 and the run is 12, the slope would be 3/12, which simplifies to 1/4. Therefore, the slope of the line is 1/4.
What is the ratio of rise to run?
It is the slope.
What is the slope of a line with a rise of 3 and run of 24?
Your answer is 3/24 or 0.125 Slope = Rise / Run
What is a slope of vertical line?
the slope of a vertical line is considered undefined slope in the rise over run. lets say the rise is 5 and the run would be 0 since its a vertical line. therefore your slope would be 5/0 and since you cannot divide by 0, the slope is undefined
If you are plotting points and the points are negative 6 negative 6 and 3 6 what would be the rise and the run of the slope?
rise = y2 - y1 run = x2 - x1 thus, rise = 6 - (-6) = 12 and run = 3 - (-6) = 9 slope = rise/run therefore, slope = 12/9 = 4/3
Slope equals rise over what?
Slope equals rise over run.
If the rise and the run are both positive numbers what would the slope of a line be?
Whether both are positive or not, you divide rise / run.
