Favela's rise over run

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 (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

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.

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.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where the change in x is zero, making the slope calculation (rise/run) impossible.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, as there is no vertical change (rise) regardless of the horizontal change (run).

Front

In the coordinate plane, what is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

In the coordinate plane, what is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates in an ordered pair (x, y)?

Back

In an ordered pair (x, y), 'x' represents the horizontal position on the x-axis, and 'y' represents the vertical position on the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in the ordered pair (x, y).
