What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run between two points on the line.

Front

What is the y-intercept?

Back

The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis, represented as (0, b) in the equation of a line y = mx + b.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a positive slope indicate?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, showing an upward trend.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, showing a downward trend.

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'm' represent?

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

In the equation y = mx + b, what does 'b' represent?

Back

'b' represents the y-intercept of the line.

Front

If a line has a slope of 4/3, what does this mean?

Back

For every 4 units the line rises, it moves 3 units to the right.
