Favela's rise over run

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a slope of zero mean?

Back

A slope of zero means the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall as it moves along the x-axis.

Front

What does an undefined slope mean?

Back

An undefined slope occurs with vertical lines, where the change in x is zero, making the slope calculation impossible.

Front

What is the x-axis on a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis on a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

How do you identify a horizontal line on a graph?

Back

A horizontal line runs side to side and has a slope of zero.

Front

How do you identify a vertical line on a graph?

Back

A vertical line runs up and down and has an undefined slope.
