Finding slope from Two-Points

Front

What is the formula to find the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

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

If two points have the same y-coordinate, what can be said about the slope?

Back

If two points have the same y-coordinate, the slope is 0, indicating a horizontal line.
