How do you find the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What does 'slope' represent in a linear graph?

Back

Slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It is often described as 'rise over run'.

Find the slope between the points (1, 2) and (4, 5).

Back

The slope is m = (5 - 2) / (4 - 1) = 3/3 = 1.

What does a positive slope indicate about a linear graph?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

What does a negative slope indicate about a linear graph?

Back

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

How do you determine the x-intercept of a linear equation?

Back

To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x.
