Slope Flashcard

Front

What is the slope?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line.

Front

Identify the type of slope: A line that rises from left to right.

Back

Positive slope.

Front

Determine the slope and y-intercept for the equation: y = 3/2x + 3.

Back

Slope: 3/2, Y-intercept: (0, 3).

Front

What does the slope represent in a real-world context?

Back

The slope represents the rate of change between two variables.

Front

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

Back

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