FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front

Answer explanation
The slope of a line is determined by its steepness. A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, which means there is no vertical change as you move along the line. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (2, 4) and (6, 12)
Answer explanation
To find the slope (m) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (12 - 4) / (6 - 2) = 8 / 4 = 2. Thus, the slope is 2.

Find the slope of the line that passes through (10, 1) and (5, 2)
Answer explanation
To find the slope (m) between points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), use the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Here, m = (2 - 1) / (5 - 10) = 1 / -5 = -1/5. Thus, the correct answer is -1/5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
-1
Back
Answer explanation
The slope of a line is calculated as the change in y over the change in x. If the line decreases by 1 unit in y for every 1 unit increase in x, the slope is -1. Thus, the correct answer is -1.
5.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
-5/4
Back
Answer explanation
To find the slope of the line, use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). The correct calculation yields -5/4, indicating a negative slope. Thus, the correct answer is -5/4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
0
Back
Answer explanation
The slope of a line is calculated as the change in y over the change in x. A slope of 0 indicates a horizontal line, meaning there is no vertical change as x changes. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.
7.
FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
Undefined
Back
Answer explanation
The slope of a line is undefined when the line is vertical. Since the correct answer is 'Undefined', it indicates that the line does not have a defined slope, as it does not rise or fall.
