Slope from Table, Graph, Equation, 2 points

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x.

Front

What type of slope is represented by a line that goes up from left to right?

Back

Positive slope.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation y=mx+b?

Back

Slope of the line.

Front

What does 'b' represent in the equation y=mx+b?

Back

Y-intercept, the point where the line crosses the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

Zero slope.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

Undefined slope.

Front

If a line has a slope of -3, what type of slope is it?

Back

Negative slope.

Front

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

Back

Slope is 2.

Front

If the slope of a line is 1/2, what does this indicate about the line's steepness?

Back

The line rises 1 unit for every 2 units it runs, indicating a gentle slope.
