Slope Missing Coordinate

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, typically represented as 'm'. It is calculated as the change in y (rise) divided by the change in x (run).

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

Back

A slope of 0 indicates that the line is horizontal and there is no change in y as x changes.

Front

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

Back

An undefined slope indicates that the line is vertical, meaning there is no change in x as y changes.

Front

If the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the line descends from left to right.

Front

If the slope of a line is positive, what does that indicate about the direction of the line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that the line ascends from left to right.

Front

What is the formula for finding the slope between two points?

Back

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

Front

What does 'rise over run' mean in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise over run' refers to the vertical change (rise) divided by the horizontal change (run) between two points on a line.

Front

How can you determine if two points create a vertical line?

Back

Two points create a vertical line if they have the same x-coordinate, resulting in an undefined slope.

Front

How can you determine if two points create a horizontal line?

Back

Two points create a horizontal line if they have the same y-coordinate, resulting in a slope of 0.
