Understanding the Slope of a Line

What does the letter 'm' represent in the context of a line's slope?

• The x-intercept of the line

• The midpoint of the line

• The slope of the line

• The y-intercept of the line

If a line has a slope of 2/3, how can it be rewritten using negative numbers?

• As 2/-3

• As -3/2

• As -2/-3

• As 3/2

What is a characteristic of lines that share the same slope?

• They have the same y-intercept

• They are parallel

• They are perpendicular

• They intersect at the origin

How do you plot a line with a negative slope of -3/2 starting from the origin?

• Count up 2 units in y and 3 units in x

• Count down 2 units in y and 3 units in x

• Count down 3 units in y and 2 units in x

• Count up 3 units in y and 2 units in x

What does it mean if a slope is described as increasing?

• The right side of the line is lower on the y-axis than the left

• The line is vertical

• The right side of the line is higher on the y-axis than the left

• The line is horizontal
