IV. PROCEDURE
The earliest known use of the concept of slope in geometry can be traced

from physics and engineering to finance and geography. It's a

4. fundamental concept for understanding and modeling various
−5 phenomena in the real world. For example:
 Physics: the slope of a position-time graph represents velocity.
 Engineering: Engineers frequently deal with graphs and slopes when
designing structures or analyzing data. Slope calculations are used in
civil engineering (for calculating gradients of roads or slopes of
structures) or electrical engineering (for analyzing voltage and current

graphs).
 Geography and Cartography: slope analysis is used to understand
terrain, and in cartography, it helps create topographic maps.
 Economics: slope can be applied to economics when analyzing supply change∈ y y 2− y 1
m= =
and demand curves. The slope of these curves can be used to change∈ x x−x
determine elasticity, a key concept in economics.
Run = 1 −3−(−1) −2
 Biology: slopes are used to determine growth rates or decay rates of (0, -1) m= =

populations over time. For example, the exponential growth or decay Rise = 2 Vertical distance (rise)
of microorganisms can be analyzed using slope calculations. 2

 Statistics: the slope of a regression line represents the relationship 1 Horizontal distance (run)
between two variables. Slope is used in regression analysis and how it
can help make predictions based on data.
 Computer Science: Slope and linear equations are used in computer Example 2

 Art and Design: understanding perspective and vanishing points is Run = 3 1

and designs. Horizontal distance (run)
 Social Sciences: The concept of slope can be applied in various social
science research, such as analyzing trends over time in sociology,
education, or psychology.

D. Development of the lesson

Slope is the steepness of a line. It is denoted by m. To find the slope of a line given its graph,
It can also be expressed in different ways: 1: Select Two Points on the Line. Choose any two distinct points on the
graph of the line. These points should be easily identifiable on the
change∈ y y 2− y 1 graph.
m= or 2: Determine the Rise (Vertical distance): Identify the difference in the y-
change∈ x x 2−x 1
coordinates (vertical values) of the two points you selected. This is the
vertical distance rise "rise" or Δy.
m= or
horizontal distance run
 3: Determine the Run (Horizontal distance): Identify the difference in the
x-coordinates (horizontal values) of the two points you selected. This is
the "run" or Δx.
4. Express the slope in lowest term if possible.
