SLOPESLOPESometimes, on mountain roads, you’ll see signs warning cars and trucks about very steep hills.Often the sign uses a percent to show how steep (0% would be flat and 100% would be a cliff), and a picture to show whether it’s steep going up or down.

You can use the same idea to measure the steepness of a line.A line (like line a) that moves upward from left to right has a positive slope.A line (like line b) that moves downward from left to right has a negative slope.

If a line is flat from left to right or what we call horizontal, it has a slope of 0.If a line is straight up or down or what we call vertical, it has no slope, also known as an undefined slope.

A line with a slope of 1 will go up to the right and make angles of 45° with both axes on a square coordinate system.

A line with a slope of -1 will go up to the left and will also make angles of 45° with both axes on a square coordinate system.

Lines with a slope greater than 1 are steeper than lines with a slope of 1.Lines with a slope between 0 and 1 are less steep than lines with a slope of 1.It can be helpful to think of lines with a slope of 1 as the “middle case” between steeper and less steep.

Slope greater than 1.

Slope between 0 and 1.
