Find the slope

Front

What is the slope of a linear function?

Back

The slope of a linear function represents the rate of change of the function. It is calculated as the change in the y-values divided by the change in the x-values.

Front

How do you 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

Back

The slope is -2.

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 positive slope, what does that tell you about the direction of the line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, what does that tell you about the direction of the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 8) and (3, 12)?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

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

Back

The slope of a perfectly vertical line is undefined.

Front

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

Back

The slope of a perfectly horizontal line is 0.
