Slope

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as a fraction (rise/run).

Front

How is slope calculated between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

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

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.

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.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line where the change in x is zero.

Front

What does a zero slope indicate?

Back

A zero slope indicates a horizontal line where the change in y is zero.

Front

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

Back

'm' represents the slope of the line.

Front

In the equation y = 2x + 3, what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 2.

Front

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

Back

For every 3 units the line moves horizontally, it moves up 4 units vertically.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes down from left to right?

Back

The slope is negative.
