Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of the dependent variable (y) with respect to the independent variable (x). It indicates how steep the line is.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be perpendicular?

Back

Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1. This means that one line is the negative reciprocal of the other.

How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

What is correlation in statistics?

Back

Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the strength and direction of a relationship between two variables.

Front

What does a strong negative correlation indicate?

Back

A strong negative correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable tends to decrease significantly.

Front

What is causation?

Back

Causation indicates that one event is the result of the occurrence of another event. It implies a direct cause-and-effect relationship.

Front

What is the difference between correlation and causation?

Back

Correlation indicates a relationship between two variables, while causation indicates that one variable directly affects the other.
