Rio Slope Types

Front

What is a positive slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases. It represents an upward trend on a graph.

Front

What is a negative slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases. It represents a downward trend on a graph.

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes. The line is horizontal.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical. The x-value does not change, but the y-value does.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two points on the line.

Front

What does it mean if a slope is zero?

Back

It means that the line is horizontal and there is no change in the y-value regardless of the x-value.
