Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

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

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 the line represented by the equation y = 3x + 2?

Back

The slope of the line is 3.

Front

If a line has a slope of -2, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A slope of -2 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

Back

The slope of the line is -4.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right.
