Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it goes (positive slope means it rises, negative slope means it falls).

Front

How do you find the equation of a line given a point and a slope?

Front

What is the significance of a slope of zero?

Back

A slope of zero indicates a horizontal line, meaning that the y-value remains constant regardless of the x-value.

Front

What does it mean for a line to have a negative slope?

Back

A line with a negative slope decreases as it moves from left to right, indicating an inverse relationship between x and y.
