Math Help (+-) Slope = Rate of Change - Line Graphs Game L-CRD3 Tips: - The slope (average rate of change) from a point P(-2,5) to a point Q(4,-1) is calculated as the (rise)/(run) = ((-1)-(5))/(4-(-2)) = (-6)/(6) = -1. If the run = 0, then the vertical slope is said to be undefined. - Positive slopes rise to the right. Negative slopes rise to the left. - The rate of change in a relation such as y=mx and its ordered pairs (x,y) can be measured by the ratio = (change in y)/(change in x) = m . Generally, the idea is that the average rate = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = m . - It may take a minute to load the game at dial-up speeds. - The game can be played using the mouse by itself or using the keyboard by itself. - If the game doesn't respond to keyboard input, click inside the game area to reset the game's focus. - Adjust the game's speed by pressing the + or - key repeatedly. |
