Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change) between two points on the line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope using rise/run?

Back

Slope = Rise / Run, where Rise is the change in y-coordinates and Run is the change in x-coordinates between two points.

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

If a line rises 2 units for every 3 units it runs, what is the slope?

Back

Front

If a line falls 5 units for every 3 units it runs, what is the slope?

Back

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

How do you find the slope from two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Front

Find the slope of the line through the points (3, -1) and (4, 7).

Back

The slope is 8.
