Front

What type of slope goes upwards from left to right?

Back

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 2, what does this mean?

Back

For every 2 units the line rises, it moves 1 unit to the right.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What type of slope is represented by the equation y = -2x + 5?

Back

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back
