Slope from graph and two points

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that rises from left to right?

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that falls from left to right?

Back

Negative slope.

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.

Front

Back

The line rises 3 units for every 2 units it moves to the right, indicating a relatively steep incline.

What is the formula for finding the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Back

The line falls as it moves from left to right.
