Finding slope version 2

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line.

Front

What is the formula to 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).

Front

What is the slope of a line passing through the points (2, 5) and (4, 7)?

Back

The slope is 1, calculated as m = (7 - 5) / (4 - 2).

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line has a slope of 3, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

A slope of 3 indicates that for every 1 unit increase in x, the y value increases by 3 units, making the line steep.

Front

What is the slope of the line with the equation y = 4?

Back

The slope (m) is 0, as it is a horizontal line.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

The slope is 2, calculated as m = (12 - 4) / (6 - 2).

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation x = -4?

Back

The slope is undefined, as this represents a vertical line.
