Finding Slope Exit Ticket Dec Week 1

Front

What is the formula for finding the slope of a line?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated as rise over run, or m = (change in y) / (change in x).

Front

What does a slope of 3 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 3 means that for every 1 unit you move to the right (run), the line rises 3 units (rise).

Front

What does a slope of 4 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 4 means that for every 1 unit you move to the right (run), the line rises 4 units (rise).

Front

What does a slope of -5/4 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of -5/4 means that for every 4 units you move to the right (run), the line falls 5 units (rise).

Front

What does an undefined slope represent?

Back

An undefined slope represents a vertical line, where the change in x is 0, making the slope calculation impossible.

Front

How do you find the slope from a table of values?

Back

To find the slope from a table, use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) using two points from the table.

Front

If a line has a slope of -3, what does this indicate about its direction?

Back

A slope of -3 indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line in a linear equation.

Front

How can you determine the slope from a graph?

Back

To determine the slope from a graph, select two points on the line, calculate the rise (change in y) and run (change in x), and divide rise by run.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, indicating no rise as you move along the line.
