What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, represented as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What does the slope represent in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the constant rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x).

What does a slope of 1 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y increases by the same amount.
