How do you measure slope?
It is the derivative of the vertical change relative to the horizontal change - if the derivative exists. So, with the typical x-y graph, it would be dy/dx. If the graph is a straight line, then it is the change in the vertical positions between any two points divided by the change in the horizontal positions between the same two points (in the same order).
Would you interpretations be different if the graph had vertical bars instead horizontal bars Explain?
yes because horizontal lines are across and vertical lines is up n down
If a slide went vertical for 100 meters then horizontal for 10 and vertical again for another 90 meters would you survive or be flung off at the 10 meter horizontal?
Yes.
When you graph the motion of an object you put on the horizontal axis and on the vertical axis?
On the horizontal axis you would probably plot the time. On the vertical axis you could plot displacement, velocity or acceleration.
If a line has an undefined slope what can you say about the horizontal coordinates of each of the points on the line?
A vertical line has an undefined slope. If a line is vertical, the horizontal coordinate, commonly known as the x coordinates, must all be the same. If not, the line would not be vertical.
