Going Beyond
In some cases, the rise or the run needs to be found before the slope can be calculated. Click on the play button to the left to take you to Rise, Run, and Slope. Then, select Slope as Rise Over Run, the activity you began in Explore. Do page 6. You will need to use the Pythagorean theorem to help you find the rise.
Refer to the Pythagorean Theorem definition from the Mathematics Glossary if you need some help remembering the theorem.
