Slope
- Slope-the difference between two points, when one unit rises(vertically) and the other unit runs(horizontally)
- If this rail to the steps did not have a slope then it would not be able to help you down the steps. because without a slope the rail would be straight and the steps go downward.
- This stair rail has a negative slope.
- To find the slope of a line you could use the rise over run method. You count the units of vertical change which is the rise, then count the units of horizontal change which is the run.
