FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the definition of slope in mathematics?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does an undefined slope represent?

Back

An undefined slope occurs in vertical lines where the change in x is zero, leading to division by zero, indicating that the line does not have a defined slope.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a zero slope indicate about a line?

Back

A zero slope indicates that the line is horizontal, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you determine the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a line that is perfectly vertical?

Back

The slope of a perfectly vertical line is undefined.
