slopes help

[wooden geyser]

what ru trying to figure out?

[rustic field]

What the slope is

the slope of the line

[wooden geyser]

well what is the definition of slope?

[rustic field]

I dont know thats why im asking

[wooden geyser]

so slope is rise over run

right?

[rustic field]

Yea

[wooden geyser]

so what is the rise of this function?

per one unit across, how many units does it go up?

[rustic field]

10

[wooden geyser]

ok

so lets start where x = 0, right

[rustic field]

Yea

[wooden geyser]

what is the y value there?

[rustic field]

?

[wooden geyser]

so x value is the left right value

y value is the up down value

[rustic field]

oh alr

[wooden geyser]

so when the left/right (x) value is 0

what is the value of the up/down (y) value?

[rustic field]

0?

[rustic field]

then 10

[wooden geyser]

so where does the blue line, your function, intersect with the red line (where x = 0)?

where do u see a 10 there?

[rustic field]

thought u meant by units nvm

[wooden geyser]

it is by units

at what number on the y axis does the blue line intersect with the red line (x=0)

[rustic field]

x=4

[wooden geyser]

ok

that is a y value

bc when the x value is 0, the up/down (y) value is 4

[rustic field]

ohh alr

[wooden geyser]

so it starts at 4 units high

if you move across one unit, how high is it then (the y value)

[rustic field]

up or to the side

[wooden geyser]

if you move to the side, one unit

how much did the line go up or down by

[rustic field]

if its only moving a unit it would still be 4

to the sdie

[wooden geyser]

no

you know how we drew that red line coming up from x = 0?

[rustic field]

yea

[wooden geyser]

now i want you to do that, with x=1

what does y = when x =1?

[rustic field]

x=2

[wooden geyser]

what does y equal

if you draw a straight line up from x = 1

if you move one unit to the right of the red line and draw a new line

what value of y does it intersect with your function line on?

[rustic field]

y=5

[wooden geyser]

no

its going to be a value from 1 to 4

right now you are just guessing numbers

use ur brain

draw a line

[rustic field]

r u asking me to do this

[wooden geyser]

thats at x = .5

draw it at x =1

a full unit over

[wooden geyser]

one unit is one number on the grid

so the labels of 1, 2, 3, 4, etc
