Finding Slope from graphs, tables and two given coordinates

Front

What is the formula to find the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

The line is horizontal.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

The line is vertical.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

The line rises from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

The line falls from left to right.

Front

How do you determine the slope from a table of values?

Back

Calculate the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values.
