FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the definition of slope in a triangle?

Back

The slope of a triangle is the ratio of the change in the y-values (rise) to the change in the x-values (run) between two points on the triangle.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

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 = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does it mean for two triangles to be similar?

Back

Two triangles are similar if their corresponding angles are equal and the lengths of their corresponding sides are proportional.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of similar triangles?

Back

The slopes of corresponding sides of similar triangles are equal.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How can you express the slope of line AD in terms of other segments?

Back

The slope of line AD can be expressed as \frac{BC}{AC} = \frac{DE}{AE}.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the slope in determining the steepness of a line?

Back

The slope indicates how steep a line is; a larger absolute value of the slope means a steeper line.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The formula for the slope (m) is m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}.
