Slope from a Graph

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, 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 the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line, where there is no vertical change as the x-values change.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where there is no horizontal change as the x-values change.

Front

How do you calculate slope using rise and run?

Back

Slope is calculated using the formula: Slope = Rise / Run.

If a line rises 5 units and runs 3 units, what is the slope?

If a line falls 2 units and runs 6 units, what is the slope?
