Front

What does the slope represent in a graph?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep a line is and the direction it goes.

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 find the slope between two points?

Back

Front

Calculate the slope of the line through points (2, 3) and (4, 7).

Back

Front

Calculate the slope of the line through points (1, 2) and (1, -5).

Back

The slope is undefined because the x-coordinates are the same, indicating a vertical line.

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-3, 2) and (3, 0)?

Back

Front

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-5, 15) and (-3, 17)?

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

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