Interpreting Slope of a Line Slope is the number of units a non-vertical line rises (or falls) for each unit of horizontal change. Slope can often be applied to real-life problems to compare change over time. This application is called rate of change and can be thought of as slope with units. When analyzing rate of change, results are reported using units such as “ feet per second ” or “ dollars per day ”.

Olympic Hurdles y= x The slope is…. What is the meaning of it? The y-intercept is… What is the meaning of it?

Interpretation Slope - For each year of the Olympics since 1970, the time for the hurdles is expected to decrease (18- thousandths) of a second. Y-Intercept - At year zero (which is 1970), the time was seconds. y= x
