7th Slope

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line descends from left to right.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line ascends from left to right.

Front

How is slope calculated between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

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

Back

The slope is 2, calculated as (7 - 3) / (4 - 2).

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, as there is no change in y regardless of the change in x.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined, as the change in x is 0.

Front

If a line has a slope of -5/3, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for every 3 units the line moves to the right, it moves down 5 units.
