How would you describe the slope of a graph showing fast speed?
If it is distance from a point versus time, with distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, it would show a steep vertical climb on the graph. The steeper vertical change, the faster, but never completely vertical. Large "rise" (distance) over short "run" (time). With 0 acceleration, the graph is a straight line.
What is a slope on a wave?
The change in y over the change in x. Y is a vertical axis, while x is a horizontal axis. Change in means you find the diference of the values for either the y or x values, which are obtained from their point on the graph. Ex] (x1,y1) (x2,y2) slope=. It is rise over run.
In a test run a certain car accelerates uniformly from zero to 24 meters per second in 2.95s what is the magnitude of the cars acceleration?
The car's uniform acceleration is (change in speed) divided by (change in time) = (24 m/s) / (2.95 s) = 8.1356 meters/sec2. Call this number ' A ' for acceleration. Change in speed = ( A ) times (time) Time = (change in speed) / A = (20 - 10) / A = 10/A = 0.81356 seconds (rounded)
What does the steepness or slope of a graph indicate?
Speed is the slope of a distance versus time graph, where distance depends on time. The steeper the slope, the faster the object was going, because it means that the object travelled far in a very short amount of time.
Is velocity the slope of the displacement vs. time graph?
Velocity=m m=rise/run
What is the change in rise divided by the change in run?
Rise/run is the slope of a line.
Meaning of the slope as a rate of change?
The slope is the ratio of rise over the run. The rise is the change in the vertical distance.The run is the change in the horizontal distance.So the slope is the ratio of two changes, horizontal divided by vertical.
Define slope of a line?
Rise/Run (The rise of the slope divided by the run of the slope.)
Slope of a line?
change in y/ change in xORrise/run
Formula for slope?
Slope = the rise divided by the run or on a cartesian coordinate plane: the change in y divided by the change in x
What does slope describe?
the change of rise over run. a positive slope goes up and a negative slope goes down
How can slope be represented?
change in y/ change in x, rise over run
How do you find the slope of a line with 2 give points?
slope is rise over run, or change in y over change in x
What is the benefit of always writing slope as a function?
This will emphasize the 'rise over run' expression of slope. In other words, the change in y over the change in x. This show the run, or change in x values, even if the slope is a whole number. A slope of 3 becomes 3/1 showing the change in y-values to be 3 and the change in x-values to be 1.
If the horizontal change is 6 and the vertical change is 12 then what is the slope?
Slope is 'rise over run', that is rise divided by run. In this case, that's 12 divided by 6, which equals 2.
What is the slope of the graph?
rise over run or change in y over change in x
What is the vertical change when the slope of a line is expressed as the ratio of the rise to the run?
The vertical change between two points separated by a horizontal difference of Dx is Dx*slope = Dx*Rise/Run
