5.01 Do Now Introduction to Slope Review

Front

What is slope?

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, representing an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, representing a downward trend.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero, indicating no vertical change as the x-value changes.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined, as it does not have a defined run.

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

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

Back

The slope is 3, indicating a positive slope.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

The slope is -2, indicating a negative slope.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does it look like?

Back

A line with a slope of 0 is horizontal.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1, what does it look like?

Back

A line with a slope of 1 rises one unit up for every one unit it moves to the right.
