1.) what happens to the slope when the rise stays the same and the run changes?

2.) what happens to the slope when the slope rise changes and the run stays the same?

3.) describe the relationship between the rise and the run when the slope is 1.

The idea of slope is something you encounter often in everyday life. Think about rolling a cart down a ramp or climbing a set of stairs. Both the ramp and the stairs have a slope. You can describe the slope, or steepness, of the ramp and stairs by considering horizontal and vertical movement along them. In conversation, you use words like “gradual” or “steep” to describe slope. Along a gradual slope, most of the movement is horizontal. Along a steep slope, the vertical movement is greater.

Defining Slope
The mathematical definition of slope is very similar to our everyday one. In math, slope is used to describe the steepness and direction of lines. By just looking at the graph of a line, you can learn some things about its slope, especially relative to other lines graphed on the same coordinate plane. Consider the graphs of the three lines shown below:
