Type of Slope

Front

What is the definition of a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend on a graph.

Front

What is the definition of a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend on a graph.

Front

What does a zero slope represent?

Back

A zero slope represents a horizontal line where the y-value remains constant as the x-value changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope represent?

Back

An undefined slope represents a vertical line where the x-value remains constant while the y-value changes.

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

If a line is horizontal, what is its slope?

Back

Zero.

Front

If a line is vertical, what is its slope?

Back

Undefined.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3/2x + 4?

Back

-3/2.
