SLOPE - practice test Dec 2025

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 4 units for every 1 unit it runs?

Back

The slope is 4.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

If a line has a slope of -2, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for every 1 unit the line moves to the right, it moves down 2 units.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

If a line passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6), what is the slope?

Back

Slope = (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2.

Front

What is the slope of a line represented by the equation y = 3x + 1?

Back

The slope is 3.

Front

What is the slope of a line represented by the equation y = -5x + 2?

Back

The slope is -5.
