DQ 2 Slope
Imagine that a line on a Cartesian
graph is approximately the distance y in feet a person walks in x
hours. What does the slope of this line represent? How is this graph useful?
Slope measures the tilt or angle
of a line. If we are graphing the $ national debt y against x years, discuss the
meaning of the following—
A line tilted in
the up direction.
A line tilted in
the down direction.
What is the significance of the
amount of tilt? Is more tilt good or bad? Explain.
