Slope Test

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is given by (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), which calculates the steepness of a line.

Front

What does 'rise' mean in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a graph.

Front

What does 'run' mean in the context of slope?

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a graph.

Front

How do you calculate the slope from a graph?

Back

Identify two points on the line, determine the rise and run between them, and use the formula rise/run.

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

If the slope is positive, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

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

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the points (4, 3) and (2, 1)?

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

What is the slope of the points (11, 9) and (12, 9)?

Back

The slope is 0.
