Find Slope given two points

Front

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

Back

The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What does it mean if the slope of a line is undefined?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when the line is vertical, meaning the x-coordinates of the two points are the same.

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal, meaning the y-coordinates of the two points are the same.

Front

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

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-coordinates are the same.
