Finding Slope

Front

What is the formula to find the slope of a line?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6).

Back

Slope = 2

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

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 has a slope of -3, what type of slope is it?

Back

It is a negative slope.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 8) and (10, 20).

Back

Slope = 2

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 5x + 3?

Back

The slope is 5.

Front

If the slope of a line is 1/2, what does this mean?

Back

For every 2 units moved horizontally, the line rises 1 unit vertically.
