What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope of a line represents the rate of change of y with respect to x. It indicates how steep the line is and the direction it goes (positive or negative).

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal, meaning there is no change in y as x changes.

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

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning there is no change in x as y changes.

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of parallel lines?

Back

Parallel lines have the same slope, meaning they never intersect and are always equidistant from each other.
