Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line measures its steepness and direction. It is calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

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.
