📐Slope is the ratio of change in elevation to change in horizontal distance.
⛰️Steepness determines the difficulty of going uphill.
🚲The tangent line represents the slope of the hill at a specific point.
🔢Derivatives and calculus can be used to calculate slopes and velocities.
🚀The second derivative represents acceleration in physics applications.
What is slope?
—Slope is the ratio of change in elevation to change in horizontal distance.
How does steepness affect going uphill?
—The steeper the slope, the more difficult it is to go uphill.
What does the tangent line represent?
—The tangent line represents the slope of the hill at a specific point.
How can derivatives be used to calculate slopes?
—Derivatives can be used to find the rate of change of a function, such as the slope of a hill.
What is the second derivative used for?
—The second derivative represents acceleration in physics applications.
