What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it goes.

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, meaning the line rises from left to right.

What is the rate of change in the context of linear functions?

Back

The rate of change in linear functions is the same as the slope, representing how much the dependent variable changes for a unit change in the independent variable.
