Finding Slope

Front

What is 'rise' in the context of finding slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to how much you go up or down.

Front

What is the formula to find slope from a graph?

Back

The formula is m = rise / run.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

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

If a line passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

How can you find the slope from a table of values?

Back

Calculate the change in y (rise) over the change in x (run) between two points.

Front

What does the term 'run' refer to in slope calculations?

Back

'Run' refers to how much you go to the side (horizontal change).
