All Slopes

Front

What is a Positive Slope?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, resulting in an upward trend on a graph.

Front

What is a Negative Slope?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, resulting in a downward trend on a graph.

Front

What is a Zero Slope?

Back

A zero slope indicates that there is no change in the y-value as the x-value changes, resulting in a horizontal line.

Front

What is an Undefined Slope?

Back

An undefined slope occurs when a vertical line is drawn, meaning the x-value does not change while the y-value does.

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 2/1 represent?

Back

It represents a rise of 2 units for every 1 unit run, indicating a steep positive slope.

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 the slope of a line is negative, what does that indicate about the relationship between x and y?

Back

It indicates that as x increases, y decreases.

Front

What is the significance of the slope in real-world applications?

Back

The slope can represent rates of change, such as speed, growth, or decline in various contexts.
