Front

What does the slope of a line represent?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change of y with respect to x, indicating how steep the line is.

How do you graph a line using the slope-intercept form?

Back

Start by plotting the y-intercept on the graph, then use the slope to find another point by moving up/down and left/right.

Front

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, resulting in an upward slant from left to right.

Front

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, resulting in a downward slant from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is 0, what does that mean?

Back

A slope of 0 means the line is horizontal and does not rise or fall as x changes.

Back

The slope is -2.
