Slope

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, represented as 'm' in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = mx + b?

Back

The y-intercept is the value of y when x = 0, represented as 'b' in the equation y = mx + b.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula 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

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 2 and a y-intercept of 3.

Back

y = 2x + 3.

Front

What are the x- and y-intercepts of the line y = 2x + 4?

Back

The x-intercept is (-2, 0) and the y-intercept is (0, 4).

Front

If a line has a slope of -1, what does this indicate about its direction?

Back

A slope of -1 indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -3x + 5?

Back

The slope of the line is -3.
