5.1 Rate of Change and Slope Objective: SWBAT determine the slope of a line given a graph or two ordered pairs.
3
DO NOW 1.Find the domain and range of the function: 2. What is the greatest value in the range of y=2x+4 for the domain {-2, -1, 0, 1} 3.Find the x- and y-intercepts of the given equation. -x – 3y = 8
4
Rate of Change What is the rate of change for the data to the left? change of dependent = $15 change of independent = 1 day $15 = $15/day 1 day What does the rate of change mean? It cost $15 more to rent a computer each day.
5
The Magnum Cedar Point, OH Ghost Rider Knott’s Berry Farm Xcelerator Knott’s Berry Farm Superman 6 Flags Magic Mountain Son of Beast King’s Island, OH How steep is the steepest roller coaster? These are completely vertical!
6
Imagine a roller coaster moving from LEFT to RIGHT
7
There are four different kinds of slope the coaster could encounter...
10
And 2 Special Cases… The zero-fun coaster The impossibly scary coaster What kind of slope are they?
11
Aw! That’s zero fun!
12
That’s a really scary coaster, so the slope is…
13
For the following slides, call out whether the slope is positive, negative, zero, or undefined. Wait for the count of 3 before you say your answer!
14
negative
15
positive
16
zero
17
undefined
18
How do you calculate the slope of a line? 1.Pick two points on the line 2.Calculate “rise over run” 3.Determine the sign
19
Start with 2 points on gridline intersections
20
How do you calculate the slope of a line? Slope = Vertical change Horizontal change OR... Rise Run m Slope = m Rise Run
21
What sign is it? Look to see if the slope is increasing Or decreasing Show me!
22
Model # 1: Watch me do the three steps Step 1: Choose 2 points Rise = 2 Run = 1 Rise Run 2 1 m = 2 Step 3: Determine the sign positive Slope = Rise Run Step 2: +
23
Model # 2: Watch me do the three steps Step 1: Choose 2 points Rise = 1 Run = 3 Rise Run 1 3 m = 1/3 Step 3: Determine the sign negative Slope = Rise Run Step 2: -
24
Practice # 3: Find the slope of this line Rise Run Rise = 3 Run = 2 +
25
Practice # 4: Find the slope of this line Rise = 1 Run = 3 Rise Run negative
26
Slope Formula 5. Given (5, -3) and (-4, 2), find the slope of the line. x1x1 y1y1 x2x2 y2y2 m =
27
Slope Formula 6. Given (0, -2) and (4, -2), find the slope of the line. x1x1 y1y1 x2x2 y2y2 m =
28
Tell your partner... What are the steps to find the slope of a line from a graph? Calculate rise over run. Look at the line to see if the slope is positive or negative.
29
Wrap Up Rate of Change (includes units) Slope –Positive –Negative –Zero –Undefined HW: P. 234 #1-29 odd, 75-85 odd DLUQ: What’s the difference between slope and rate of change?
30
Before you leave: 1. What type of slope is shown? (Positive, negative, zero or undefined?) 2. What would a slope of -1/2 look like? (Uphill, downhill, steep, shallow) 3. What is the slope of the line above?
