Slope of a Line

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between two points on the line.

What does 'rise' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What does 'run' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a line given two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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