Unit 6 - 5 FC Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope in mathematics?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that goes down from left to right is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes up from left to right?

Back

The slope of a line that goes up from left to right is positive.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 4).

Back

The slope is 1, calculated as (4 - 2) / (3 - 1).

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (2, 5).

Back

The slope is undefined, as the x-coordinates are the same.

Front

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

Back

The slope is 2, which is the coefficient of x in the equation.

Front

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

Back

The slope is -1/2.
