How can we write 7% as a

fraction?

Page 6: Slope & Y-intercept

7% as a fraction??

• Remember than any percent is a part of

100.

77%

The grade of a road is the same as

slope

• Here is the picture:

7 feet

100 feet

Page 8: Slope & Y-intercept

Slope of a line

• The slope measures the “rise” and “run” of

the stairs beneath or above the line.

Page 9: Slope & Y-intercept

Slope of a line

• The “stairs” are all through the line and the

same size.

Page 10: Slope & Y-intercept

Slope of a line

• Can I make a line if the stairs aren’t the

same size?

Slope of a line (m)

• To find the slope, use

the formula

Slope of a line (m)

• Is the slope positive

or negative?

Answer:

Positive, Read from left

to right

Page 15: Slope & Y-intercept

Try for yourself

• Draw 2 lines with the following slopes on

your graph paper.

• A) B)

• Start anywhere on your coordinate plane.

Slope of a line (m)

• The last 2 lines had a positive slope, let’s look

at slopes with negative slopes

Slope of a line (m)

• We still use rise over run, except the “stairs”

are underneath the line.

What do you need to do?

• Identify the slope on a

graph

• First find where the

line goes through

(intersects the grid

lines)

• Draw a triangle and

calculate the slope

Page 24: Slope & Y-intercept

What do you need to do?

• Decide if it’s a

negative or positive

slope

• Trace the triangle on

the graph paper

• On the CAHSEE you

can write on the test!

Page 25: Slope & Y-intercept

What do you need to do?

• Use the formula

• Rise is negative 1

• Run is 2

2m

Page 26: Slope & Y-intercept

Now it’s your turn

• Identify the slope on each line.

• First make points where the line intersects

the grid

• Then calculate the slope

• If you finish early, then also identify where

the line crosses the y-axis.
