How is slope calculated in the xy plane?

• Difference between x and y changes

• Sum of x and y changes

• Change in y divided by change in x

• Change in x divided by change in y

What does a slope of 1 indicate about a line on the xy plane?

• For every unit increase in x, y decreases by 1

• For every unit increase in x, y increases by 2

• There is no change in y as x increases

• For every unit increase in x, y increases by 1

What characterizes a line with a slope of 2?

• It is twice as steep as a slope of 1

• It is less steep than a slope of 1

• It remains constant regardless of x

• It decreases as x increases

How does a slope of -1 affect the line's direction?

• It makes the line slope downwards

• Y decreases slightly

• Y remains unchanged

Which of the following best describes the relationship between slope and the steepness of a line?

• A higher absolute value of slope means a steeper line

• A negative slope always results in a flat line

• A higher slope means a less steep line

• The slope has no effect on steepness
