SLOPE - TEST Dec 2025

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the change in vertical distance (rise) over the change in horizontal distance (run).

Front

What is the formula to calculate slope?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend.

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 identify the slope from a graph?

Back

To identify the slope from a graph, select two points on the line, determine the rise and run between them, and calculate the slope using the formula.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Back

The slope is (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) = 4 / 2 = 2.

Front

If a line has a slope of -1/4, what does this tell you about its direction?

Back

A slope of -1/4 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

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

Back

The slope of a perfectly flat line is 0.
