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 to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What direction does a slope of 0 indicate?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal (flat) line.

Front

What direction does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical (up and down) 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 3 units for every 4 units it runs?

Back

The slope is 3/4.

Front

If a line has a slope of -2/3, what does this indicate about its direction?

Back

The line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a line that is perfectly vertical?

Back

The slope is undefined.

Front

If a car travels 64 miles using 2 gallons of gasoline, what is the slope of the graph representing this data?

Back

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.
