Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where m is the slope, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, showing an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, showing a downward trend.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

How do you find the slope between two points?

Back

To find the slope between two points, use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
