Slope y=mx proportional

Front

What is the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope (m) represents the rate of change of the y-value with respect to the x-value in a linear equation of the form y = mx + b.

Front

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

Back

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

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.

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, indicating that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.

What does an undefined slope mean?

Back

An undefined slope occurs in a vertical line where the x-value does not change, leading to division by zero in the slope formula.

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'b' represents the y-intercept, which is the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

If a line has a slope of -3, what does this tell you about the relationship between x and y?

Back

A slope of -3 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, y decreases by 3 units.
