Slope - Algebra 1

Front

What is the definition of slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line, which is calculated as the ratio of the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

What does a slope of zero indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of zero indicates that the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

If a line has a slope of 3, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

Back

For every 1 unit the line runs to the right, it rises 3 units.
