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.

What is the significance of a positive slope?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of a negative slope?

Back

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