Front

What is a linear relationship?

Back

A linear relationship is a relationship between two variables that can be represented by a straight line on a graph.

Front

What does the slope of a line indicate?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness of the line and the direction of the relationship between the variables.

Front

What is the formula for calculating slope?

Back

Slope (m) = (change in y) / (change in x).

Front

What does it mean if a line has a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Front

What does it mean if a line has a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope means that as one variable increases, the other variable decreases.
