Slope and Slope Intercept

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, calculated as the ratio of the vertical change to the horizontal change between two points on the line.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line, where there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line, where the x-value remains constant while the y-value changes.
