Warmup 12/5

Front

What is the slope in the equation y=mx + b?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.

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.

Front

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

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What does it mean if the slope is undefined?

Back

It means the line is vertical and does not have a defined rate of change.

Front

What is the slope in the equation y = 5x - 4?

Back

The slope is 5.

Front

What type of slope does the graph of y = -2x + 1 have?

Back

It has a negative slope.
