Section 1 Summary

 

Snow-covered mountains likely appeal to you whether you are a skier or a snowboarder, or if you prefer to stay indoors. You can see the varying slopes of different parts of the mountains, and you can spot where avalanches have stripped away the trees.

 

In this section you explored slope and ways to describe slopes. You looked at the special cases of slope, such as zero slope and undefined slope. You discovered ways to give slope a number value, and you considered safety issues related to sloped objects.
