Lesson Proper
Activity. (By Group)
LET’S FIND OUT!
Each group will be given a worksheet, they are going to find the Slope of the given
graph.

Analysis:
1. How did you find the slope?
2. What is the trend of the graph? Is it increasing? Or decreasing?
3. What is the slope of each increasing graph? What are the signs of the slope?
4. What is the slope of the decreasing graph? What is the sign of the slope?
5. Do the graphs represent linear functions? Why or Why not?
6. What is the slope of the horizontal line? How about the vertical line?

Abstraction

The Slope of the line can be used to describe how steep the Mountain is.
A line can be described by its steepness or slope.
The slope m of a line can be computed by finding the quotient of the rise and the run.
𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆
m= 𝒓𝒖𝒏

• A basic property of a line, other than vertical line, is that its slope is constant.
 • The slope of the horizontal line is zero (0) while the slope of the vertical line is undefined. A
vertical line does not represent a linear function.

The value of the slope m tells the trend of the graph.

• If m is positive, then the graph is increasing from left to right.
• If m is negative, the graph is decreasing from left to right.
• If m is zero (0), then the graph is a horizontal line.
• If m is undefined, then the graph is a vertical line.

Application

Activity: STEEP UP

Description: This activity will enable you to use the concept of slope in real life. This can be
done by groups of 5 members.
Directions: Find any inclined object or location that you could see in your school and then
determine its steepness.

Guide Questions:

1. How did you find the steepness of the inclined object?

2. Have you encountered any difficulty in determining the steepness of the object?
Explain your answer.
