Linear Relationships and Modeling · Functions and Modeling

Slope as a Rate of Change

Understanding slope not just as a formula, but as a constant ratio that defines linear growth.

Key Questions

  1. 1What does the steepness of a line tell us about the relationship between two variables?
  2. 2How does a zero or undefined slope impact the physical interpretation of a graph?
  3. 3In what ways does the unit rate manifest in a linear equation?
