Slopes Definition- A gradient of a line that describes the line's steepness, incline, or grade.

Types of Slopes   

- Positive slope                         - Zero Slope   

- Negative slope                        - Undefined Slope   - Steeper slope                         - Flatter Slope 

  

Positive slopeDefinition- A slope that rises from left to right.     

 

Positive slopes  Rooftop                                                                      Boat sail       Ladder                                  Roller coaster

Negative slopeDefinition- A slope that goes down from left to right decreasing   

 

Negative slopes Valley                                    Airplane tailfins       Pyramid                                Triangle

Steeper slopeDefinition- A slope that has a big slope that makes a line almost vertical.

                         Triangle

Steeper slopes Compass rose                Steep hill                          Eiffel tower 

Flatter slopeDefinition- A slope that is closer to the x-axis and has a smaller slope.

 

Flatter slopes Bridge                                                          Wheelchair ramp     sStair rail                                                       Hill

Undefined slopeDefinition- A line with the same x for each y making a vertical line.

 

Undefined slope Light pole                                                             Tree trunk                                     Girrafe neck                         Lighthouse                                                           Number 1

Zero slopeDefinition- A line with the same y for every x making the line horizontal.

 

Zero slopes Horizon line                                                          T.V.      Road                                                               Grassland
