Day 67: Wup Identify Type of Slope

Front

What is a positive slope?

Back

Front

What does a zero slope represent?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes, resulting in a horizontal line on a graph.

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a vertical line is drawn, meaning the x-value does not change while the y-value does.
