Slope & Slope Formula

Front

What is the formula for calculating the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Front

Given the points (-5,-3) and (2,4), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does this indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does this indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line that passes through the points (3,18) and (0,18).

Back

The slope is 0.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = (4/3)x + 2?

Back

The slope is 4/3.

Front

What type of slope does the equation y = 0 represent?

Back

The equation y = 0 represents a zero slope, which is a horizontal line.

Front

How do you interpret a slope of -6/3?

Back

A slope of -6/3 simplifies to -2, indicating that for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 2 units.
