What does the term 'rise' refer to in slope calculations?

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points.

Front

What does the term 'run' refer to in slope calculations?

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units and runs 4 units?

Back

The slope is 3/4.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.

Front

In the equation y=mx+b, what does b represent?

Back

b represents the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

How would you write the equation of a line with a slope of -1 and a y-intercept of 4?

Back
