Slope

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

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

Front

How do you calculate slope using a graph?

Back

Slope is calculated as rise over run.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

Find the slope of the line.

Back

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes upwards from left to right?

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes downwards from left to right?

Negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

Zero slope.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

Undefined slope.

Front

If a line has a slope of 1, what does that indicate about the rise and run?

Back

The rise and run are equal.

Front

How does a steeper line relate to its slope?

Back

A steeper line has a greater absolute value of slope.
