Finding slope from Two-Points

Front

What is the formula to find the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

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 of a line is 4, what does this mean in terms of rise over run?

Back

A slope of 4 means that for every 1 unit you move to the right (run), the line rises 4 units (rise).
