Slope = Rise over Run

Front

What is the definition of slope?

Back

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

Front

What does 'rise' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Rise' refers to the vertical change between two points on a line.

Front

What does 'run' refer to in the context of slope?

Back

'Run' refers to the horizontal change between two points on a line.

Front

How do you calculate the slope of a line?

Back

Slope (m) = Rise / Run.

Front

If a line rises 3 units and runs 4 units, what is the slope?

Back

The slope is 3/4.

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 falls as it moves from left to right, what can be said about its slope?

Back

The slope is negative.

Front

What is the slope of a line that goes through the points (2, 3) and (4, 7)?

Back

Slope = (7 - 3) / (4 - 2) = 4 / 2 = 2.

Front

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

Back

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