Slopes:

Chapter slopes covers determining and calculating the slope of a line.

 STATE the definition of the following terms:

a. Slope

b. Intercept

 Given the equation, CALCULATES the slope of a line.

 Given the graph, DETERMINES the slope of a line.

Many physical relationships in science and engineering may be expressed by plotting a straight line.  The slope (m), or steepness, of a straight line tells us the amount one parameter changes for a certain amount of change in another parameter.
