Slope from a Graph

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate slope using rise/run?

Back

Slope = Rise / Run, where 'rise' is the vertical change and 'run' is the horizontal change between two points.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 1 unit it runs?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls 2 units for every 1 unit it runs?

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

What type of slope does a line with a slope of 0 have?

Back

A line with a slope of 0 is horizontal and has zero slope.

Front

What type of slope does a vertical line have?

Back

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 1 unit and runs 2 units?

Back

Front

What type of slope does a line that descends from left to right have?

Back

A line that descends from left to right has a negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 4 units and runs 2 units?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1, what does this indicate about its steepness?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates a 45-degree angle, meaning the line rises 1 unit for every 1 unit it runs.
