Md. Zahangir Hossain (ZHN) : Department of Mathematics and Physics North South University Email

This document contains lecture notes on the slope of a line from Md. Zahangir Hossain of the Department of Mathematics and Physics at North South University. The notes define slope as the ratio of the vertical rise to the horizontal run between two points on a line. They provide examples of finding the slope between two points, graphing a line given a point and slope, writing equations of lines in point-slope and two-point forms, and finding equations of parallel and perpendicular lines. The document concludes with assigning homework problems from the text.

The Slope of a Line

Each step contains exactly the same horizontal run and the
same vertical rise. The ratio of the rise to the run, called the
slope, is a numerical measure of the steepness of the staircase.

The Slope of a Line
Find the slope m of the line containing the points (1, 2) and
(5, -3).

Note: If 𝑥1 , 𝑦1 is a point and m is the slope of a line then the point


𝑥2 , 𝑦2 on the same line is given by
𝑥2 = 𝑥1 + 𝑟𝑢𝑛, 𝑦2 = 𝑦1 + 𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒.
