How many types of slopes are there?

Back

Four types: Positive, Negative, Zero, Undefined

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about the relationship between two variables?

Back

As one variable increases, the other variable also increases.

Back

As one variable increases, the other variable decreases.

Front

If a line has a slope of zero, what does that mean?

Back

The line is horizontal and does not rise or fall.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that mean?

Back

The line is vertical and cannot be expressed as a ratio of rise over run.
