The steepness of any incline can be measured as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change. For example, a 5% incline can be written as
5\100
, which means that for every 100 feet forward, the height increases 5 feet.
In mathematics, we call the incline of a line the slope and use the letter m to denote it. The vertical change is called the rise and the horizontal change is called the run.
Slope
m = vertical change by horizontal
change = t by t
The rise and the run can be positive or negative. A positive rise corresponds to a vertical change up and a negative rise corresponds to a vertical change down. A positive run denotes a horizontal change to the right and a negative run corresponds to a horizontal change to the left. Given the graph, we can calculate the slope by determining the vertical and horizontal changes between any two points.

We have been given that Judy’s brother Sam has a collection of 96 comic books. We have been asked to find the 10 ways Sam could divide his comic books into equal groups.
This can be done as follows:
96 can be written as . Thus, we can either have 2 groups of 48 comics or 48 groups of 2 comics. As we can see we have 2 ways to divide the comic books in equal groups.
Likewise, 96 can also be written as . Here, we can similarly see that we can either have 3 groups of 32 comics or 32 groups of 3 comics. As we can again see we have 2 more ways to divide the comic books in equal groups, taking the total number of ways to 4.
Continuing in this manner we will see that we can have 4 groups of 24 or 24 groups of 4, 6 groups of 16 or 16 groups of 6 and lastly 12 groups of 8 or 8 groups of 12 comic books, thus taking the count to a <u>total of 10 ways</u> in which Sam can divide his comic books into equal groups.
