Slope of a Line
• How do we calculate the slope of a line?
rise
run

Rise / Run
• The formula slope = rise/run looks a lot like a formula we just used in the density investigation
• Which one?
density = mass/volume

Make the Connection
• So… if the formula for slope is:slope = rise / run
• And the formula for density is:density = mass / volume
What does the slope of a mass v volume graph represent?

Make the Connection
• The slope of a mass v volume graph represents the density.
• In your small groups, graph the data on the next page
