Slope from a Graph

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend.

Front

What is an undefined slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, meaning there is no horizontal change (run = 0).

Front

What is a zero slope?

Back

A zero slope occurs when a line is horizontal, meaning there is no vertical change (rise = 0).

Front

How do you calculate slope using rise and run?

Back

Slope = rise/run, where 'rise' is the vertical change and 'run' is the horizontal change.

Front

If a line rises 3 units and runs 4 units, what is the slope?

Back

Front

If a line falls 2 units and runs 6 units, what is the slope?

Back

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

Back

Front

What type of slope does a line with coordinates (2, 3) and (2, 5) have?

Back

The slope is undefined.
