Slope Intercept from a Graph

Front

What is the SLOPE?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation. It is calculated as the rise over run, or the change in y divided by the change in x.

What is the Y-INTERCEPT?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. It is represented as 'b' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation, and it indicates the value of y when x is 0.

The slope of the line is -2.

How do you find the slope from a graph?

Back

To find the slope from a graph, select two points on the line. Count the vertical change (rise) and the horizontal change (run) between these points. The slope is the rise divided by the run.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications?

Back

The slope can represent rates of change in real-world scenarios, such as speed, cost per item, or growth rates.
