FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

If a line has a slope of 3/2, what does this indicate about its steepness?

Back

A slope of 3/2 indicates that for every 2 units of horizontal change, the line rises 3 units vertically, making it relatively steep.
