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.

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
