Front

What is the simple definition of slope?

Back

Slope is defined as rise/run.

Front

What is the formula to calculate slope?

Back

Slope = (change in y) / (change in x) or rise/run.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

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

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

Back

Slope = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).
