This document defines and provides examples of different types of slopes, including: - Zero (horizontal) slope: examples are a sunset horizon, bridge, and books aligned horizontally. - Undefined (vertical) slope: examples are vertical structures like the Twin Towers, lamp posts, grass, rockets during launch, and french fries. - Positive slope: examples include mountains, roller coasters going up, pyramids, and stairs. - Negative slope: examples are structures like an X shape, rainbow, and glacial mountain going down. - Steeper slope: examples include the Eiffel Tower, Christmas tree, knife blades, and bamboo. - Flatter slope: examples are

Slopes in Real Life
Zero (Horizontal) Slope The sunset on the horizon is an example of a zero slope because it goes horizontally. This picture represents a zero slope because its a bridge going horizontally.
Zero (Horizontally) Slope These books represents a zero slope because these books are aligned horizontally so they have a zero slope. This tree branch has a zero slope because its growing horizontally.
Zero (Horizontal) Slope The picture of the wire is the last example of zero slopes because the wire runs side to side or horizontally.
Undefined (vertical) Slope The Twin Towers went vertically. An undefined slope goes up and down and thats how these buildings are built. Most lamp posts go vertically and thats how undefined slopes are. This is an example because lamp post stand straight.
Undefined (vertical) Slope This picture represents an undefined slope because grass goes straight up vertically, just like an undefined slope. A rocket goes straight up during launch. An undefined slope goes vertical also.
Undefined (vertical) Slope This french fry is going up and down. This is an example of an undefined slope because they both go vertically.
Positive Slope The mountain is a representation of a positive slope because the left side is going up or increasing. In this picture, the roller coaster is increasing and going upwards just like a positive slope.
Positive Slope The Great Pyramids of Egypt is a good example because since its a triangle, on one side its a positive slope. This picture of a flight of stairs is a good representation because the stairs are going upwards and increasing.
Positive Slope The picture of the circus tent is a good example because the slope of the circus tent matches a positive slope.
Negative Slope This picture represents a negative slope because the left side is going towards the negative quardinant. The X is an example of a negative slope because on one side, the line is going downwards.
Negative Slope This picture represents a negative slope because these people are aligned to where when looking at them left to right, theyre going downwards. This rainbow is an example of negatives slopes because the rainbow can be seen going down when looked at left to right.
Negative Slope This picture of the glacier mountain represents a negative slope because this mountain is going down.
Steeper Slope The Eiffel Tower has a long steep drop on it. Although its not straight so this falls under a steep slope. The christmas tree shows a deep drop making it a steeper slope.
Steeper Slope This heel has a slope. Its very high but at the same time still tilted. These knifes have curves on the blades. They are so steep that they look straight, but arent. This makes them steeper slopes.
Steeper Slope This stick of bamboo is a steeper slope because its barely tilted but not straight.
Flatter Slope This picture of a jets path represents a flatter slope because its going horizontally except with a tilt. This human see-saw is a representation of a flat slope because the giant board is straight but with a tilt.
Flatter Slope This saw has a flat slope thats not quite flat but with a tilt. This picture of a fork shows a flatter slope because at the handle a fork is straight, then starts to lift.
Flatter Slope This carrot has a slant at its edge. Since its not straight, this carrot has a flatter slope or is an example of one.
Definition of Slope to have or take an inclined or oblique direction or angle considered with reference to a vertical or horizontal plane; slant
