Slope from Two Points Flashcard

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of the two points.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical.

Front

If the slope is positive, what does that tell you about the line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Front

If the slope is negative, what does that tell you about the line?

Back

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