Slope Review

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope of a line?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6).

Back

The slope is 2.

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.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line falls as it moves from left to right.

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 3, what does this mean in terms of rise and run?

Back

For every 3 units of rise, there is a run of 1 unit.

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 5) and (2, 1).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

If the slope of a line is -1, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

Back

The line decreases at a 45-degree angle as it moves from left to right.
