Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line.

Front

How is slope calculated between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

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.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

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

If a line rises from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a positive slope.

Front

If a line falls from left to right, what type of slope does it have?

Back

It has a negative slope.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = 2x + 3?

Back

The slope (m) is 2.

Front

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -1/2x + 4?

Back

The slope (m) is -1/2.
