Lesson 6 (PH Text 5.1): Slope and Rate of Change
Objective: to find the rate of change/slope of a line from its table or graph, or from the coordinates of two points of the line
Ordered pairs can be numbered: (x2, y2) and (x1, y1) This just identifies them as different points.
Slope of a line ­ is the ratio of the change in y to the change in x between any two points on the line.
Slope – the measure of the steepness of a line
– the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change
Slope and rate of change are the same thing. When you calculate
rate of change you are calculating slope.
Constant rate of change means them when each consecutive rate of change is calculated you get the same value.

Find the slope:
1. a line that contains the points M( 12, 4) and N(6, 2)
2. a Horizontal line that contains points M(0, 2) and N(5, 2)
3. A vertical line that contains the points P(­3, 4) and R(­3, 2).

Collinear points ­ are points that lie on the same line.
If two line segments share a point and have the same slope, they are collinear.
Determine if points A(­4, ­1), B(­2, 1), and C(2, 5) are collinear.
