Objective 1: Understand the Concept of Slope 1) Explain the meaning of slope. 2) Describe the slant of a line with a positive slope. 3) Describe the slant of a line with a negative slope. 4) The slope of a horizontal line is . 5) The slope of a vertical line is . 6) If a line contains the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), write the formula for the slope of the line. Mixed Exercises: Objectives 2 and 4 Determine the slope of each line by a) counting the vertical change and the horizontal change as you move from one point to the other on the line and b) using the slope formula. (See Example 2.) 7) x y 5 5 5 5 8) x y 5 5 5 5 9) x y 5 5 5 5 4.2 Exercises Do the exercises, and check your work. 10) x y 5 5 5 5 11) x y 5 5 5 5 12) x y 5 5 5 5 13) x y 5 5 5 5 14) x y 5 5 5 5 166 CHAPTER 4 Linear Equations in Two Variables and Functions www.mhhe.com/messersmith
