Slopes of Lines 3.3
Objectives ,[object Object],[object Object]
HOW is slope used in transportation?
Traffic signs are used to alert drivers to road conditions.  The sign at the right indicates, a hill with a 6%  grade .  This means that the road will rise or fall 6 feet vertically for every 100 horizontal feet traveled.
HOW is slope used in transportation? Why would a road or train track wind its way up a mountain instead of going directly toward the top? A path going directly toward the top might be too steep for a car or train. To reach the same height, is it easier to push a wheelchair up a long ramp or a short ramp? A long ramp is easier because the climb is less steep, even though you travel father.
Slope of a Line The  slope  of a line is the ratio of its vertical rise to its horizontal run. Slope  = y 2  -  y 1 x 2  -  x 1 = Vertical Rise Horizontal Run x y Horizontal Run Vertical Rise
Slope The slope  m  of a line containing two points with coordinates ( x 1 ,  y 1 ) and ( x 2 ,  y 2 ) is given by the formula: m = y 2  -  y 1 x 2  -  x 1 , where x 1  = x 2
Slope The slope of a line indicates whether the line rises to the right, falls to the right, or is horizontal.  The slope of a vertical line, where  x 1  =  x 2 , is undefined.
Find the slope of a line… From (-3, -2) to (-1, 2), Go up four units and right 2 units. Use the slope formula. Let (-4, 0) be ( x 1 ,  y 1 ) and  (0, -1) be ( x 2 ,  y 2 ). Slope  = y 2  -  y 1 x 2  -  x 1 = -1 - 0 0 - (-4) = -1/4  x y ( -1 ,  2 ) ( -3 ,  -2 ) Use the  method. rise run rise run = 4 2 = 2 m = ( -4 ,  0 ) ( 0 ,  -1 )
Study Tip! Lines with positive slope  rise  as we move from left to right, while lines with negative slope  fall  as we move from left to right.
Example (-3, 5) (1, 5) What happens with horizontal lines? =  5 - 5 -3 - 1 0 -4 = = 0 So, the slope of every horizontal line is 0! x y m  = y 2  -  y 1 x 2  -  x 1
Example (6, 3) (6, -4) What happens with vertical lines? = 3 - (-4) 6 - 6 = 7 0 , which is undefined. Therefore, all vertical lines are undefined! x y m  = y 2  -  y 1 x 2  -  x 1
HOMEWORK ,[object Object],[object Object]
WARM UP If we want to get a hint about the positivity or negativity of a slope, what can we look for? HW CHECK: Pg. 142; #1 - 9, 51 - 61 odd
Rate of Change The slope of a line can be used to identify the coordinates of any point on the line. The  rate of change  describes how a quantity is changing over time.
Use Rate of Change to Solve a Problem Between 1990 and 2000, the annual sales of rollerblade equipment increased by an average rate of $92.4 million per year.  In 2000, the total sales were $1074.4 million.  If sales increase at the same rate, what will the total be in 2008? Let ( x 1 ,  y 1 ) = (2000, 1074.4) and  m  = 92.4 m  = y 2  -  y 1 x 2  -  x 1 Slope formula 92.4 = y 2  - 1074.4 2008 - 2000 Substitution 92.4 = y 2  - 1074.4 8 Simplify 739.2 =  y 2  - 1074.4 Multiply by 8 on each side! 1813.6 =  y 2 <- Answer!
Therefore, The coordinates of the point representing the sales for 2008 are (2008, 1813.6). Thus, the total sales in 2008 will be about $1813.6 million.
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Examine the graphs of lines  l ,  m , and  n .  Lines  l  and  m  are parallel, and  n  is perpendicular to  l  and  m .  Let’s investigate! (-3, 5) (2, 2) (1, -3) (0, 4) (4, 2) l m n Slope of line  l ? Slope of line  m ? Slope of line  n ? Because lines  l  and  m  are parallel, their slopes are the same. Line  n  is perpendicular to line  l  and  m , and its slope is the opposite reciprocal of the slopes of  l  and  m . x y m  = - 3 5 m  = - 3 5 m  =  5 3
Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Postulate 3.2  - Two nonvertical lines have the same slope if and only if they are parallel. Postulate 3.3  - Two nonvertical lines are perpendicular if and only if the product of their slopes is -1.
