Slope from a GRAPH

Front

What is the formula for calculating slope from a graph?

Back

Slope = rise over run.

Front

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

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

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

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

How do you determine the slope of a line that goes downwards from left to right?

Back

The slope will be negative.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line rises 3 units and runs 4 units, what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 3/4.

Front

If a line falls 2 units and runs 5 units, what is the slope?

Back

The slope is -2/5.

Front

How can you find the slope using two points on a line (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a slope of 1 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y increases by the same amount.
