Understanding Slope of a Line

What are the coordinates of the two points used to find the slope in this lesson?

• (-8, -4) and (4, 4)

• (0, 0) and (4, 8)

• (4, 4) and (-8, -4)

• (-4, -4) and (8, 4)

What is the formula used to calculate the slope of a line?

• (y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)

• (x2 - x1) / (y2 - y1)

• (x1 - x2) / (y1 - y2)

• (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

In the slope formula, what does y2 represent?

• The first x-coordinate

• The second x-coordinate

• The second y-coordinate

• The first y-coordinate

What is the result of simplifying the expression (4 - (-4)) / (8 - (-4))?

• 2/3

• 4/5

• 3/4

• 1/2

What is the common factor used to simplify the slope from 8/12?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 6

What does a positive slope indicate about the direction of a line?

• The line moves downwards from left to right

• The line is horizontal

• The line moves upwards from left to right

• The line is vertical

What is the 'rise' in the context of slope?

• The total length of the line

• The midpoint of the line

• The change in y-values

• The change in x-values

How many units does the line rise for every 3 units it runs?

• 1 unit

• 2 units

• 4 units

• 3 units

What is the graphical representation of a slope of 2/3?

• Rise 1, Run 2

• Rise 2, Run 1

• Rise 2, Run 3

• Rise 3, Run 2

What is the final point reached when applying the slope from the first point?

• (-4, -4)

• (8, 4)

• (4, 8)

• (0, 0)
