Slope!

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

Slope is a measure of the steepness or incline of a line, typically represented as 'm' in the equation of a line. It is calculated as the ratio of the rise (change in y) over the run (change in x).

Front

What is the formula to calculate the slope between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Front

What is the slope of a horizontal line?

Back

The slope of a horizontal line is 0.

Front

What is the slope of a vertical line?

Back

The slope of a vertical line is undefined.

Front

If a line rises from left to right, what can you say about its slope?

Back

If a line rises from left to right, its slope is positive.

Front

If a line falls from left to right, what can you say about its slope?

Back

If a line falls from left to right, its slope is negative.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6).

Back

Front

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (4, 5) and (2, 1).

What does a slope of 1 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y increases by the same amount, resulting in a 45-degree angle with the x-axis.

Front

What does a slope of -1 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of -1 indicates that for every unit increase in x, y decreases by the same amount, resulting in a line that falls at a 45-degree angle with the x-axis.
