Front

Define slope in the context of a graph.

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate about a line?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where y remains constant regardless of x.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where x remains constant regardless of y.

Front

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

Back

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