Slope Review

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

If the slope (m) is 1/3 and the y-intercept (b) is -5, what is the equation of the line?

Back

y = 1/3 x - 5

Front

What does slope represent in a graph?

Back

Slope represents the steepness of a line, calculated as the ratio of the rise (vertical change) to the run (horizontal change).

Front

Slope is known as rise over ...?

Back

run

Front

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

Back

The slope (m) is calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is the slope of the line that rises 2 units for every 4 units it runs?

Back

The slope is 1/2.

Front

What is the slope of a line that falls as it moves from left to right?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

If a line has a slope of 0, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line.

Front

If a line has an undefined slope, what does that indicate about the line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates a vertical line.
