What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as a ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in 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, resulting in a downward trend.

Front

What is zero slope?

Back

Zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no vertical change as the x-value changes.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs in a vertical line where there is no horizontal change, making the slope calculation impossible.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If a line rises from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a positive slope.

Front

If a line falls from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
