What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is.

How do you identify the y-intercept from a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the slope-intercept form.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

How can you determine the slope from a table of values?

Back

The slope can be determined by calculating the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run) between two points.

Back

The slope is 2, which means for every 1 unit increase in x, y increases by 2 units.

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that mean?

Back

An undefined slope means the line is vertical, and it does not have a defined rate of change.
