What is the definition of slope in a graph?

Back

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

How do you determine if a slope is positive, negative, or zero?

Back

A slope is positive if the line rises from left to right, negative if it falls from left to right, and zero if the line is horizontal.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

How can you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal and there is no vertical change as you move along the line.

If a line has a slope of -3, what does this indicate about its direction?

Back

A slope of -3 indicates that the line falls steeply from left to right.

What is the relationship between slope and parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope; they never intersect.

What is the relationship between slope and perpendicular lines?

Back

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other; if one line has a slope of m, the other will have a slope of -1/m.
