Slope from a Graph

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as a fraction (rise/run).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

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?

Back

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

Front

What is zero slope?

Back

Zero slope indicates a horizontal line where there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What is undefined slope?

Back

Undefined slope occurs in vertical lines where the change in x is zero, leading to division by zero.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 2 units it runs?

Back

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls 5 units for every 3 units it runs?

Back

Front

Back

It is a negative slope.

Front

If a line is horizontal, what is its slope?

Back

The slope is zero.
