Slope is used extensively in real life. For example, when designing a house the architect has to determine the pitch of the roof, which is really the slope. When designing bridges, the engineers have to determine the slope of the supports for optimal strength of the bridge.
In this module's discussion, find the slope of an object either where you live, where you work, or outside somewhere. Examples might include a ladder positioned against a wall or against a house, a banister on a set of stairs, a slide in a park, etc.
Describe the object, include details on how you went about performing the calculation, and determine the slope. Be sure to include the unit of measurement (inches, feet, yards, etc.).
Flat objects, such as books, computer screens or picture frames do not have slope unless they are leaning against something. The diagonal that connects the corners of such objects has slope, but let's be more creative.
For your response post offer constructive feedback to a classmate's initial post. Remember to be respectful of other people's ideas and share your own thoughts to keep the discussion moving forward.
Please make your initial post by midweek, and respond to at least one other student's post by the end of the module. Please check the Course Calendar for specific due dates.
