Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x; it indicates how steep the line is.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the line's direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

Back

The slope of the line is 3.

Back

The y-intercept of the line is 5.

Front

How do you determine the slope from a graph?

Back

The slope can be determined by calculating the rise (vertical change) over the run (horizontal change) between two points on the line.

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.
