Slope Triangles

Front

What is the definition of slope in the context of triangles?

Back

Slope is defined as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change) between two points on a line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a triangle?

Back

The slope of a triangle can be calculated using the formula: slope = rise/run.

Front

What does it mean for triangles ABC and DEF to be similar?

Back

Triangles ABC and DEF are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and their corresponding sides are in proportion.

Front

If two triangles are similar, what can be said about their slopes?

Back

If two triangles are similar, the slope of one triangle is equal to the slope of the other triangle.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises and runs to the left?

Back

The slope of a line that rises and runs to the left is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls and runs to the right?

Back

The slope of a line that falls and runs to the right is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How can you determine if two slopes are equal?

Back

Two slopes are equal if the ratio of rise to run for both lines is the same.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications?

Back

The slope can represent rates of change, such as speed, growth, or decline in various real-world contexts.
