Front

What is the definition of a slope triangle?

Back

A slope triangle is a right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical distances between two points on a graph, used to calculate the slope of a line.

Front

If the rise is 3 and the run is 4, what is the slope?

Back

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Back

Front

What is the relationship between the sides of a slope triangle and the slope ratio?

Back

The slope ratio is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the opposite side (rise) to the adjacent side (run) of the triangle.

Back

DE = 30, so the answer is DE.

Front

What is the significance of similar triangles in slope calculations?

Back

Similar triangles have proportional sides, which means their slope ratios are equal.
