Flashcard 4/5 Qt. 2 Three ways to find slope

Front

What is the formula to calculate slope?

Back

Slope (m) = (rise) / (run)

Front

If the rise is 20 and the run is -4, what is the slope?

Back

Slope is -5

Front

Calculate the slope using the points (6, 12) and (14, 16).

Back

Slope is 1/2 or 0.50

Front

Calculate the slope using the points (5, 28) and (7, 40).

Back

Slope is 6

Front

Calculate the slope using the points (6, -14) and (4, -8).

Back

Slope is -3

Front

If the rise is 12 and the run is 3, what is the slope?

Back

Slope is 4

Front

What does 'rise' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

Rise refers to the vertical change between two points.

Front

What does 'run' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

Run refers to the horizontal change between two points.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 10 units and runs 5 units?

Back

Slope is 2.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

The line is horizontal.
