Front

What is the significance of the slope in a linear equation?

Back

The slope indicates the steepness and direction of the line. A positive slope means the line rises, while a negative slope means it falls.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

What is the relationship between parallel lines in terms of slope?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
