Finding slope from Two-Points

Front

What is the formula to 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

Find the slope of the points (1,8) and (3,12).

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

Find the slope of the points (2, 4) and (6, 12).

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

How do you interpret a slope of 0?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

How do you interpret an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, meaning there is no change in x as y changes.

Front

Find the slope of the points (-8,4) and (-5,1).

Back

The slope is -1.

Front

Find the slope of the points (4,-4) and (2,0).

Back

The slope is -2.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x.
