Finding Slope

How do you determine if a slope is steep?

• A slope is considered steep if its absolute value is greater than 1.

• A slope is considered steep if its absolute value is less than 1.

• A slope is considered steep if it is equal to 1.

• A slope is considered steep if it is negative.

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

• y = mx + b

• y = b + mx

• y = mx - b

• y = m + bx

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

• The line rises from left to right.

• The line is horizontal and has no slope.

• As the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

• The line falls from right to left.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = -4x + 1?

• -4

• 2

• 0.5

• 3

What is the y-intercept in the equation y = 3x + 2?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6).

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What is the slope of the line that crosses the y-axis at (0, 5) and has a slope of 3?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

• A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

• A positive slope indicates that as the x-value increases, the y-value decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.

• A positive slope indicates that the line is horizontal and does not change in height.

• A positive slope indicates that the line is vertical and does not change in x-value.

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

• Slope (m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

• Slope (m) = (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1).

• Slope (m) = (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2).

• Slope (m) = (y1 + y2) / (x1 + x2).

How can you tell if two lines are perpendicular based on their slopes?

• Two lines are perpendicular if the product of their slopes is -1.

• Two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are equal.

• Two lines are perpendicular if the sum of their slopes is 0.

• Two lines are perpendicular if one slope is the negative reciprocal of the other.
