Finding Slope

Front

What is slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the slope-intercept form of a linear equation.

Front

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

Back

The formula for slope (m) is: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a slope of zero mean?

Back

A slope of zero means the line is horizontal, indicating that there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope mean?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a line is vertical, indicating that there is no change in x as y changes.
