Assignment: Find the Slope of a Line

Use the slope formula to calculate the slope of the line in each situation described below. Show all the steps necessary to write your answer in simplest form. 1. Alex and his friends practice skateboarding at a local community skate park. The line shown

in the graph below represents one of the skateboard ramps.

a. Identify two points on the line and write the coordinates of the points as ordered

pairs (x, y). b. Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line that represents the road.

2. A child rolls his toy cars down a dirt hill in his backyard. Suppose the line shown in the graph

below represents the dirt hill.

b. Use the slope formula to find the slope of the line that represents the ramp.

4. Describe another situation that involves a real-world hill, road, or ramp. Draw the graph of a line to represent the situation. Identify two points on the line and use these points to calculate the slope of the line with the slope formula. Be sure to show all the steps necessary to calculate the slope and write your answer in simplest form.
