Slope and Slope intercept

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the rise (change in y) to the run (change in x).

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

The y-intercept is 4, represented as the point (0, 4).

How do you calculate slope using a graph?

Back

Slope is calculated as rise over run, which is the vertical change divided by the horizontal change.
