Finding Slope Using Slope Formula

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where m is the slope, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

What is the meaning of 'rise' in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What is the meaning of 'run' in the context of slope?

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a line.
