Slope Triangles

Front

What is the formula for calculating slope using slope triangles?

Back

Front

What does 'rise' represent in the context of slope triangles?

Back

'Rise' represents the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What does 'run' represent in the context of slope triangles?

Back

'Run' represents the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

How do you determine the slope of a line if the rise is -2 and the run is 4?

Back

Front

If the slope of a line is -1/2, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A slope of -1/2 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units and runs 6 units?

Back

Front

If a slope triangle has a rise of 5 and a run of -10, what is the slope?

Back

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 can you identify the slope of a line from a graph?

Back

You can identify the slope by selecting two points on the line and calculating the rise over run.
