slope from table

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.

Front

What is the formula to calculate slope?

Back

Slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Back

Slope = (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2.

Front

How do you find the slope from a table of values?

Back

Identify two points from the table, then use the slope formula: (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

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

What is 'rise' in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to the change in the y-values between two points.

Front

What is 'run' in the context of slope?

Back

'Run' refers to the change in the x-values between two points.
