2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change• In this section we will review:
– Finding and using the slope of a line
![Page 3: Chapter 2 – Linear Equations and Functions 2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b4f7f8b9ab0599a7146/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change• What is slope?
• Slope – ratio of the line’s vertical change (rise) to its horizontal change (run)– CANNOT be a vertical line
![Page 4: Chapter 2 – Linear Equations and Functions 2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081420/5a4d1b4f7f8b9ab0599a7146/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change• Just like you need two points to
determine a line, you need two points to find the slope of a line.
• You can use any two points on the line.

2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change
• The slope m of a nonvertical line passing through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by the formula:

2.3 – Slope and Rate of Change
• Example 8– A town’s building
codes require the roof of a house to have a minimum slope, or pitch. To comply, a roof must rise at least 1 foot for every 3 horizontal feet. Does the roof of the house shown in the diagram comply with the code?
