Objectives At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: a. determine the slope of a line given a graph. b. identify positive, negative, zero, and undefined slope. c. participate actively in the class. II. A. B. C. D. Subject-matter Topic: Slope of a Line Reference: Elementary Algebra Materials: cartolina, illustration board, chalk and board. Mathematical Concept: The SLOPE is defined as; the tilt or inclination of a line the ratio of vertical change to horizontal change. the change in y over the change in x III. Procedure A.

B. Drill/Motivation Divide the class into 4 groups. Each group will be given an Illustration board and a chalk. Direction: Plot the following ordered pairs to the illustration board. Connect the points to form a figure. You have to find out what kind of figure it is. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. (-3,31/2) (0, 9) (3,31/2) (11,31/2) (5, 0) 6. (91/2,-7) 7. (0, -3) 8. (-91/2, -7) 9. (-5,0) 10. (-11, 31/2)

C. Presentation Example 1:

(2, 0) 3 2

(0, -3)

The slope of a line is m, where

m=3 2 Example 2:

(7,5) (3,2) (2,-3) (4,-5)

A line that contains point (7, 5) and (3, 2) has a POSITIVE SLOPE. When a line has a positive slope it goes up left to right. When a line has a negative slope it goes down left to right.

The formula for slope in symbol is

(7, 5) (3, 2) m = _2-5_ 3-7 m = _-3_ -4 m = _3_ 4 (2,-3) (4,-5) m = -5- (-3) 4-2 m = -2 2 m = -1

Example 3:

(-1, 5) (-3, 4) (5, 4)

(-1, -6)

A line that contains point (-3, 4) and (5, 4) has a ZERO SLOPE. The graph of the line forms a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis as shown in the graph. m = _4-4_ 5-(-3) m = _0_ 8 m=0

A line that contains point (-1, 6) and (-1,5) is said to be undefined if the graph of the forms a vertical line, parallel to the y-axis as shown in the graph. m = _5-6_ -1-(-1) m = _-1_ 0 m = Undefined D. Generalization 1. To find a slope of the line from a graph; a. take two points on the graph and b. get the ratio of the change in y to the change in x. 2. Trend of the line INCREASING the line of the graph rises to the right and the slope is positive.

DECREASING the line of the graph falls to the right and the slope is negative. ZERO the line forms horizontal line and parallel to the x axis. UNDEFINED the line forms vertical line and parallel to the y axis. E. Activity Determine the slope and the trend of a line given the ordered pairs. 1. (6,-1) (4, 2) 2. (3, 5) (-1,-2) 3. (4, 1) (4, 5) 4. (6,2) (3,2) IV. Evaluation Solve for the slope. 1. (-3, 6) (2,-2) 2. (-3, 1) (-3, 5) 3. (2,-5) (1,-5) 4. (5, - 1) (-3, 0) 5. (2,-3) (-2, 1)
