FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the slope formula?

Back

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

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the slope between two points (1,4) and (5,9)?

Back

Using the slope formula: m = (9 - 4) / (5 - 1) = 5/4.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

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

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning it goes straight up and down, and cannot be expressed as a ratio.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope occurs when a line is horizontal, meaning it does not rise or fall as it moves from left to right.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

If the slope of a line is -1, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of -1 means that for every unit increase in x, y decreases by 1 unit, resulting in a diagonal line that falls from left to right.
