Key Concepts:
- Calculating Slope – Slope is found using the formula (m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}).
- Interpreting Slope in Context – Slope represents how one variable changes with respect to another (e.g., speed, price changes, growth trends).
- Positive vs. Negative Slope – A positive slope indicates an increasing trend, while a negative slope represents a decreasing trend.
- Finding the Closest Slope – Approximate the slope from given data points.
Skills Covered:
- Calculate the slope of a line passing through two points.
- Estimate the closest slope of a given line of best fit.
- Find the average rate of change of an object’s momentum from a graph.
