Finding Slope

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the ratio of the rise (change in y) to the run (change in x).

Front

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

Back

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 8) and (3, 12)?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

Which of the following is the slope formula?

Back

Front

Find the slope from the table of values: (0, 0), (2, 5).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.
