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 slope formula.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-coordinate increases, the y-coordinate decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is zero.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

What is the formula for calculating slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The formula for slope (m) is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

If a line passes through the points (3, 4) and (7, 8), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 1.

Front

If a line passes through the points (1, 2) and (4, 2), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 0.

Front

If a line passes through the points (2, 3) and (2, 5), what is the slope?

Back

The slope is undefined.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b)?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.
