Slope = Rise over Run

What does an undefined slope indicate about a line?

• The line is horizontal.

• The line is vertical.

• The line has a positive slope.

• The line has a negative slope.

If a line falls 2 units and runs 5 units, what is the slope?

• -1/2

• 2/5

• -2/5

• 5/2

What is the slope of a vertical line?

• 0

• 1

• undefined

• infinity

How does the slope affect the direction of a line?

• A positive slope means the line falls from left to right.

• A negative slope means the line rises from left to right.

• A positive slope means the line rises from left to right.

• The slope has no effect on the direction of the line.

What does a slope of 0 indicate about a line?

• The line is vertical.

• The line is horizontal.

• The line is diagonal.

• The line has a positive slope.

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

• 1/2

• 3/4

• 4/3

• 2/3

If a line has a slope of 1, what does this indicate about the rise and run?

• The rise is twice the run.

• The rise and run are equal; for every 1 unit rise, there is a 1 unit run.

• The rise is half the run.

• There is no relationship between rise and run.

What is the definition of slope?

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

• Slope is the angle at which a line inclines from the horizontal axis.

• Slope refers to the distance between two points on a line.

• Slope is the total length of a line segment divided by the number of points on it.

What is the formula for calculating slope?

• m = rise/run

• m = run/rise

• m = rise + run

• m = rise - run

What is the slope of a line that goes through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6)?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4
