What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the y-value with respect to the x-value. It indicates how steep the line is.

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward slant of the line.

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward slant of the line.

How can you identify the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be identified by selecting two points on the line and calculating the rise over run (change in y over change in x).

Front

What is the relationship between parallel lines in terms of slope?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
