Positive and Negative Slope-Parent Night

Front

What is the definition of a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend on a graph.

Front

What is the definition of a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend on a graph.

Front

What does a slope of zero indicate?

Back

A slope of zero indicates a horizontal line where the y-value remains constant regardless of the x-value.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where the x-value remains constant regardless of the y-value.

Front

How can you identify a positive slope on a graph?

Back

A positive slope can be identified by a line that rises from left to right.

Front

How can you identify a negative slope on a graph?

Back

A negative slope can be identified by a line that falls from left to right.

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x is 0, represented by 'b' in the equation.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope of the line is 2, indicating a positive slope.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

Back

The slope of the line is -4, indicating a negative slope.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what can be said about its equation?

Back

The equation of the line will be in the form y = b, where b is a constant.
