Types of Slope

Front

What is the slope of a line that decreases from left to right?

Back

Negative slope

Front

What is the slope of a line that increases from left to right?

Back

Positive slope

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

Zero slope

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

Undefined slope

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about the relationship between x and y?

Back

As x increases, y decreases.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about the relationship between x and y?

Back

As x increases, y increases.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what can be said about the y-values?

Back

The y-values remain constant regardless of x.

Front

If the slope of a line is undefined, what can be said about the x-values?

Back

The x-values are constant, leading to a vertical line.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line passing through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7).

Back

Slope = (7 - 3) / (4 - 2) = 2.

Front

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

Back

Slope = -3.
