Pds 2/5 SLOPE

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points?

Back

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What is the y-intercept of a graph?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) where b is the y-coordinate.

Front

How can you identify a y-intercept from a set of ordered pairs?

Back

The y-intercept will always have an x-coordinate of 0, e.g., (0, b).

Front

Given the equation y = mx + b, what do m and b represent?

Back

In the equation y = mx + b, m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 5x - 2?

Back

The slope is 5.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1/6, what does this indicate about its steepness?

Back

A slope of 1/6 indicates a gentle incline; for every 6 units moved horizontally, the line rises 1 unit vertically.

Front

How do you find the slope from a graph?

Back

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
