Finding Slope of a line

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as you move from left to right on the graph, the line rises.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as you move from left to right on the graph, the line falls.

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

How do you calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

If the coordinates of two points are (2, 3) and (5, 7), what is the slope?

Back

Front

What does it mean if a line has an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope means the line is vertical and does not have a defined steepness.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is 2.

Front

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

Back

The slope of the line is -4.
