SLOPE

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

What does the term 'rise' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

The vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What does the term 'run' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

The horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

If a line has a slope of m = 0, what type of line is it?

Back

Horizontal line.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

The line is vertical.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 2 units it runs?

Back

m = 3/2.

Front

How do you determine the slope of a line given its equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b)?

Back

The slope (m) is the coefficient of x.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (2, 7)?

Back

m is undefined (vertical line).

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (4, 5)?

Back

m = 1.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about the direction of a line?

Back

The line descends from left to right.
