Slope = Rise over Run

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

What is the formula for calculating slope?

Back

The formula for slope (m) is m = rise/run.

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

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Use the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -1/2x + 4?

Back

The slope is -1/2.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1, what does this indicate about the rise and run?

Back

It indicates that the rise and run are equal; for every 1 unit rise, there is a 1 unit run.
