Slope

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Front

How is slope calculated between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning it goes straight up and down.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 2 units for every 1 unit it runs to the right?

Back

2

What is the slope of a line that falls 1 unit for every 2 units it runs to the right?

Front

What are the four types of slope?

Back

Positive slope, negative slope, zero slope, and undefined slope.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.
