Slope Assignment (Rise over Run)

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

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal and there is no vertical change as you move along the line.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning there is no horizontal change as you move along the line.

Front

What type of slope does a line that rises from left to right have?

Back

A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope.

Front

What type of slope does a line that falls from left to right have?

Back

A line that falls from left to right has a negative slope.

Front

What is the 'rise' in the context of slope?

Back

The 'rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What is the 'run' in the context of slope?

Back

The 'run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 1 means that for every unit of rise, there is an equal unit of run, resulting in a 45-degree angle.

Front

What is the rate of change in a linear function?

Back

The rate of change in a linear function is represented by the slope of the line.
