Identify Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What are the types of slope?

Back

1. Positive Slope: Line rises from left to right. 2. Negative Slope: Line falls from left to right. 3. Zero Slope: Horizontal line, no rise or fall. 4. Undefined Slope: Vertical line.

Front

In the equation y=mx+b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

In the equation y=mx+b, 'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is 2.

Front

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line has a slope of -5/3, what does this indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of -5/3 indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the function f(x) = -rac{4}{5}?

Back

The slope of the function f(x) = -rac{4}{5} is -rac{4}{5}.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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