Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope of a line?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

How does the slope affect the steepness of a line?

Back

The greater the absolute value of the slope, the steeper the line.
