Finding slope from Two-Points

Front

What is the formula to 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 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

Calculate the slope of the points (7, 1) and (-2, 1).

Back

The slope is 0.

Front

Calculate the slope of the points (-8, 4) and (-5, 1).

Back

The slope is -1.

Front

Calculate the slope of the points (-1, 7) and (2, 2).

Back

Front

Calculate the slope of the points (3, 9) and (-2, 8).

Back

Front

Calculate the slope of the points (-3, 5) and (-2, 2).

Back

The slope is -3.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line; a positive slope means the line rises, while a negative slope means it falls.

Front

If two points have the same y-coordinate, what can be said about the slope?

Back

The slope is 0, indicating a horizontal line.
