Slope from a Graph

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness 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 2 units for every 3 units it runs?

Back

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes upwards from left to right?

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes downwards from left to right?

Back

Negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

Back

The line rises 1 unit for every 2 units it runs, indicating a gentle slope.

Front

Find the slope of a line that rises 5 units and runs 3 units.

Back

Front

What is the slope of a line that runs 4 units to the right and does not rise or fall?

Back

The slope is zero.
