Slope Given Two Points Review

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if the slope of a line is 'no slope'?

Back

The line is vertical, meaning it goes straight up and down.

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

The line is horizontal, meaning it goes straight across.

Front

Calculate the slope of the line through the points (2, 3) and (5, 3).

Back

0

Front

Calculate the slope of the line through the points (1, 2) and (1, 5).

Back

Front

What is the slope of a line that rises 3 units for every 4 units it runs?

Back

3/4

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

The line descends from left to right.
