FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the change in the y-coordinate divided by the change in the x-coordinate (rise/run).

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you calculate the slope from a table of values?

Back

To calculate the slope from a table, select two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) and use the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing an upward trend.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

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

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0, meaning there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined because the change in x is 0, leading to division by zero.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If a line has a slope of 4, what does this mean?

Back

A slope of 4 means that for every 1 unit increase in x, the y-value increases by 4 units.
