Understanding Slope in Linear Equations

What is the slope of a line if it moves up 4 units for every 7 units it moves to the right?

• 4/7

• 7/4

• 1/2

• 2/1

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

• (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

• (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

• (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

Which type of slope is represented by a line that goes down from left to right?

• Negative

• Positive

• Undefined

• Zero

What is the slope of a line that is perfectly horizontal?

• Positive

• Negative

• Zero

• Undefined

If a line has a slope of 0, what does this indicate about the line's direction?

• It goes up

• It goes down

• It is horizontal

• It is vertical

In the example where y2 is 1 and y1 is 6, what is the change in Y?

• -6

• 6

• -5

• 5

What is the simplified slope if the rise is 6 and the run is 14?

• 14/6

• 3/7

• 6/14

• 7/3

What is the slope of a line if the rise is 0?

• Positive

• Undefined

• Negative

• Zero

What is the slope of a line if the run is 0?

• Undefined

• Zero

• Negative

• Positive

If the slope is calculated as -2/-14, what is the simplified form?

• 1/7

• 2/14

• -2/14

• -1/7
