Finding Slope

Front

What is the formula to find the slope of a line 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 line containing the points (−6, 2) and (0, 4).

Back

1/3

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

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

Find the slope of the graphed line with a rise of 2 and a run of 4.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
