Finding Slope (graph, table, points)

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, usually represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

If a line has a slope of 2, what does this mean?

Back

This means that for every 1 unit increase in x, the y-value increases by 2 units.
